Csathy, Eva Paula Our beloved mother, Eva "Mumsy" Csathy (born Palvolgyi) passed away on June 4 at the age of 86 from complications of her 4 and 1/2 year battle with primary peritoneal (ovarian) cancer. Remarkably, she thrived even after her cancer diagnosis, relishing her remaining time with her children (Eva, George and Peter), their spouses (Peter, An and Luisa), grandchildren (Michael, Katie, Hunter and Luca), grandson-in-law (Morgan), and great-grandchildren (Mya, Marcus Jr. and Layla). Eva was born in Hungary (Gyor) in 1935. As a young girl, she grew up during World War II and later under the Soviet occupation of Hungary. She met her future husband, our beloved father Denis (who preceded her in death in 1991), in 1956 on a train bound from Gyor to Budapest. They were married shortly thereafter. When the Hungarian Revolution broke out in November 1956, Eva and Denis made the difficult decision to flee Hungary to pursue freedom and opportunity in the West. Our mother was only 21 and pregnant with her first child when they crossed the Atlantic by ship and arrived on the welcoming shores of Canada. 3 years later, they made their way to Minneapolis, where they personified the "American Dream," guided by love, talent, and hard work (Denis ultimately founded and was CEO of a successful local Minneapolis company, Deltak). Love of family defined our mother's life. She loved to cook and bake, and she generously shared her favorite Hungarian recipes with her family and friends. We savored her Hungarian dishes and desserts as we marveled at her knowledge of popular and Hollywood culture. She was a beautiful woman with a bubbly personality. She always looked much younger than her actual age, and she retained a youthful spirit throughout her life. She had a deep appreciation of the arts, music, and movies. Her musical tastes ranged from opera (La Boheme in particular) to pop and rock (for example, Muse and Harry Styles). Although she lived in Minneapolis for more than 50 years, she never lost her distinctive Hungarian accent. Her colorful "Mumsy-isms" (for example, "the Vikings are playing the Green Peppers") and expressions (for example, "Tanks God!") have been passed down from one generation to the next. Later, in 2014, she moved to Southern California (Carlsbad) to be near her sons as her health began to decline. Our mother's life ended with grace, courage, dignity and humor. We are grateful that the easing of COVID restrictions allowed family members to be at her bedside until the very end. Our mother taught us by example that the everyday shared moments are the most lasting and meaningful. Although we will miss her tremendously, we will never be without her. She will remain forever in our hearts. Memorial service and interment of ashes will be private (family). In lieu of flowers, a donation to either The Elizabeth Hospice (elizabethhospice.org) or the UC San Diego Director's Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (bit.ly/…) in memory of Eva Csathy is suggested.
