Catherine (Cathy) Robosky Slezak, 81, of Greensburg died after a long battle of Alzheimer’s on August 17th, 2020 at Weatherwood Manor in Greensburg. She has been a resident there for one year. Prior to this she resided in the same house for 50 years in Greensburg with her beloved husband Bill which he built for them.   She was born September 25th, 1938, at home in Forbes Road, PA, a daughter of the late Andrew Robosky and Mary Robosky (Lishego).  Cathy was Catholic by faith.  She was a graduate of Greensburg Salem High School.  In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband William (Bill) Slezak Sr.; three brothers, Walter Robosky, Jimmy Robosky, Billy Robosky and a sister Rosemary.   Surviving are her 3 children, daughters Cathy Hampton (Jim), Jackie Heisler (Chad), and Son Todd Slezak (Megan).
