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.

Though our relationship changed over time, I never stopped appreciating the kindness, strength, and compassion you brought into our lives. Your care and support during some of our family’s more difficult moments—especially when my sister and husband faced serious health concerns—was nothing short of extraordinary. You stepped up not out of obligation, but out of genuine love and concern, and for that I will always be grateful. Thank you Cathy.

Today we say goodbye to someone who filled every room with laughter, light, and love my beautiful cousin Cathy.
Cathy wasn’t afraid of anything. She lived life with a wild spirit and a big heart, always chasing adventure and pulling the rest of us along for the ride. From our sleepovers that lasted until sunrise to our family trips to Naples, she made every moment unforgettable.
She was the kind of person who reminded you to live to laugh louder, to love harder, and to never take a single day for granted. Her heart was open to everyone, and her smile could brighten even the darkest day.
It’s going to be hard saying goodbye to you . The world feels quieter without her. But I know she’s still with us in our memories, in our laughter, and in every bit of courage she inspired in us.
Cathy, thank you for being the older sister to all of us and always being there when we needed you. You’ll forever be in our hearts and I’ll always carry you in my heart. Tío y Tia Gracias por haberme permitido tener a Cathy en mi vida.
Por todas las risas, los recuerdos, y el amor que compartimos gracias a ella.
Rest peacefully my beautiful cousin. We’ll love you always.

Catalina,
These past days have seemed surreal. Your presence is immensely missed. I will forever cherish our childhood memories, secrets, trips, laughs, your beautiful smile, college adventures, talks, hugs, crying together and just everything about you. Life will not be the same without you..I feel like a piece of my heart is missing knowing I won't be able to see you or pick up the phone and call you. We had a bond that was so strong and could not be broken by time nor distance. You have left a void that can not be filled. I pray you are resting in God's presence with all our other family members. Although our lifetime together ended way to soon I find comfort in knowing you are at peace. Watch over us... you may be gone from this world but never ever from my heart❤. Once my sister... now my guardian Angel. Love you forever...

Today, my heart is heavy with grief as I come to terms with the reality that you are no longer with us. You were so much more than a cousin to me — you were like a big sister.
Even though we were six years apart, we shared a special bond from a very young age. Whether it was telling ghost stories, listening to music, or spending time at the beach, you always had a way of looking out for me. Your kindness and generosity never went unnoticed. You were caring, supportive, and had a wonderful sense of humor that could brighten anyone’s day.
I will forever cherish the memories we created together and hold them close to my heart. You touched my life in ways that words can hardly express, and I will miss you dearly. Love you wabbit

I miss you cuz forever in my heart.

My most deepest condolences to the family. I am devastated for the loss of beautiful Cathy.
Cathy was more than a friend; she was like a big sister to me. Her kindness, warmth, and love touched everyone around her. She treated me and my family as if we were her own, and I’ll always carry that love with me.
She was such a vibefull of life, laughter, and so much fun. I’ll never forget how lovely she always smelled, her cute laugh, and that beautiful smile that could brighten anyone’s day. She loved her family deeply and had a gift for bringing everyone together to celebrate anything and everything. Mahlia & Jaden were her world.
We drifted apart after we both moved and life happened, but I’ll always wish I had pushed harder to reconnect; to see her, to laugh with her again, and reminisce on the great memories we made, to remind her how much she meant to me. Even though I didn’t get that chance, she’ll always have a place in my heart, and I’ll never forget her or the love she shared so effortlessly.
To Mahlia, Jaden, and the entire family: I am deeply sorry for your loss. I hope the memories of love shared comfort you all forever. ❤
