Catherine Gregg Obituary
Catherine Marie Broussard Gregg passed away peacefully in San Diego, CA, on December 27, 2023, with her family by her side.
Born in Georgia on October 13, 1951, Catherine grew up in College Park, GA. She was an accomplished pianist and was accepted to attend the prestigious Julliard School in New York. However, she had a competing desire to be an engineer, and decided to attend Georgia Tech University in Atlanta, GA, where she graduated in 1973 with a Bachelors Degree in Industrial Engineering.
In 1976, Catherine married the love of her life, L.T. Gregg. Catherine and L.T. resided in Atlanta and loved to travel around the world together, exploring such places as South Africa, Turkey, Europe and many others.
Catherine had a long and rewarding career in telecommunications with AT&T and Lucent Technologies just as high speed fiber was coming to widespread use. Catherine was responsible for the successful establishment of many international trans-oceanic fiber projects, and was also instrumental in the re-establishment of telecommunications to the island of Kauai after the devastating Hurricane Iniki in 1992.
After her husband L.T. passed away, Catherine moved to the San Diego area to be close to her four sons, nine grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren, whom she adored. She enjoyed her Rancho Bernardo home and loved to watch her Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets during college football season. Catherine is survived by her sons, Davis Gregg, Thomas Gregg, Robert Gregg, and Richard Gregg; her brothers, Gordon Broussard and Douglas Broussard; and her sister, Diana Broussard McChesney.

I was saddened to hear of Catherine´s passing and had gotten used to wishing her a happy Birthday in October every year. I was living in Catherine´s home the lower terrace level and considered buying her home. Her 3 Daughters came to visit to try and talk her into moving west. They succeeded but Catherine could not fly nor drive herself as she battled cancer so I told the 3 I would drive her out there.
I had the pleasure of driving Catherine and her precious cat from her home in Brookhaven GA to San Diego. We took her little red Subaru and the 1st night stayed in a hotel in some town in Mississippi. We checked in and before long were walking in an inch of water to get to our room. We were able to get other rooms but because she had made reservations ahead to stay in pet friendly places she asked if I would make reservations the rest of the way and I did. We snuck her cat in the next few nights at nice (dry) hotels and her cat never made a sound. It was a beautiful cross country trip and I remember leaving her a Harmony of the Gospels with a note and then Uber´d to the Silver Train in San Diego to LA to visit my daughter Lauren who was living in Santa Monica. I was grateful and blessed to know and be able to take her to be with family the rest of her years.
May God Bless her and her entire family in every way..
