Catherine "Nana" Marie Prestigiacomo

Cathy Marie Prestigiacomo (Heinzen), a native of Louisville, Kentucky, passed away peacefully on June 18, 2025, at the age of 63. Known for her radiant smile and gentle spirit, Cathy was a devoted mother and Nana whose legacy lives on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. Her greatest joy in life was watching her children and grandchildren grow. As a proud and loving mother and Nana, Cathy’s warm presence enriched those around her, leaving behind memories that will be forever treasured.

She was the adored beautiful bride of 47 years to Michael Louis Prestigiacomo Sr. To her children, she will always be their “Momma and Pretty Momma”: Lisa and Matt Mathesius, and Mike and Crystal Prestigiacomo. Cathy also leaves behind her beloved grandchildren—Nicole and Matthew Mathesius, and Ava and Claire Prestigiacomo—who were the lights of her life.

She was the loving daughter of Judy Koenig and the late Charles Heinzen, and was also cherished by the late Sam and Joann Prestigiacomo, the beloved parents of Mike Sr. As the eldest of her siblings, she is survived by David Heinzen, Doug Heinzen, Mary Heinzen Rowan, Carlo Heinzen, Helen Heinzen, Fred Heinzen, and Judy Heinzen Culotta, and is reunited with her late sister, Linda Savage. She will also be deeply missed by her extended family and many dear friends.
