12.15.14 AKRON –It was the dying wish of 81-year-old Catherine Stermock of Akron that she be cremated and that her remains be buried in Pennsylvania next to her mother, father and sister.

Her daughter, Kimberly Phillips, told Fox 8, “she’s missed her family, my mom has always been about family, grandchildren, her kids, she’s always given of herself before anybody else.”

Acting on directions from employees at the U.S. Postal Service’s Ellet Station, Catherine Stermock’s daughter says she placed her mother’s cremains in a priority mail express package that was mailed on Friday and was told they would arrive at a funeral home in Bethlehem, PA on Saturday, but the parcel never made it.
