It is with deep love and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Cathy Ramirez-Gullatte, beloved mother, daughter, sister, niece, cousin, and friend. Cathy passed away peacefully in her home on November 5, 2025, at the age of 49.

Cathy was born on August 23, 1976, in Brooklyn, New York, to Hector and Lia Ramirez. The family later relocated to Margate, Florida, where Cathy and her brother Hector Jr. were raised in a home filled with love and laughter.

She was a proud graduate of Ely High School, Class of 1994, and went on to pursue higher education at Broward Community College before earning her degree in Health Administration from Phoenix University. Cathy dedicated more than 20 years to a career in the medical field, where her compassion and leadership left a lasting impact. She worked with the South Florida Center for H.O.P.E. before joining HyperbaRX Administrative, where she oversaw patient care improvement and marketing strategies. Her work reflected her lifelong commitment to helping others.

In 1998, Cathy met Michael Gullatte in South Florida, and together they built their family. From them came their greatest blessings, their two children, Mahlia and Jaden Gullatte, who were the center of Cathy's world.

Cathy was preceded in death by her beloved brother, Hector Ramirez Jr. She is survived by her parents, Hector and Lia Ramirez, her children, Mahlia and Jaden Gullatte, and a host of loving family members and friends who will cherish her memory forever.

Those who knew Cathy will remember her as the light in every room — a vibrant, charismatic woman whose warmth and humor touched everyone she met. She had a generous spirit, always giving to others without hesitation.

"What's mine is yours," she would often say, and she lived by those words every day.

Cathy's creativity, impeccable sense of style, and remarkable cooking were admired by all who knew her. She was fierce, independent, and determined — a true go-getter who pursued life with passion and joy. Her selflessness, strength, and love continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to know her.

A memorial service to celebrate Cathy's life will be held on Monday, November 10, 2025, at Monarch Funeral Home and Cremation Services from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM.

Cathy's life was a testament to kindness, generosity, and grace. Her light will continue to shine through her children, her family, and all those whose lives she touched.
