Katherine "Cass" R. Salema, age 77, of Cherry Hill, NJ, passed away on April 9, 2024.

Cass, an accomplished registered nurse who went on to become a nursing home administrator, dedicated not just her professional career, but her personal life, to caring for others. She served as the Administrator at Meadowview and Juniper Village in Williamstown before retiring and working part-time in continuing education at St. Mary's in Cherry Hill. Apart from her professional achievements, she found much joy in playing racquet sports like tennis and pickleball, shared special moments playing ping pong with her grandsons, Enzo and Gianni, and had a deep appreciation and was an avid fan of tennis and MLB baseball. Known for her creativity, Cass excelled as a seamstress and craftsperson, and will be cherished for her many projects she completed over the years, from homemade Halloween costumes to beautiful home decor. She was also a devoted reader of the Bible and religious history.

She leaves behind her beloved companion of 30 years, Warren Bartiromo, her devoted children Richard Bartlett and Sara D'Agostino, her loving grandchildren Enzo, Gianni, Brandi, Julian, Dillon, and great-grandsons Levi and Gage. Cass is also survived by her dear siblings Joseph Salema (Maria) and Roberta Acampora (Raymond), and her cherished nieces and nephew, Alexa DeFeo (Michael), Joey Salema, Emily Salema, and great-nephew Axel DeFeo.

Services will be held privately as per the family's wishes.
