Catherine Ann Hedgecock

HEDGECOCK, Catherine Ann - Cathy passed away in the early morning of Friday, July 29, in her home in El Cerrito, CA. A journalist, artist, and teacher, Cathy's presence kindness, and compassion touched everyone who met her, and, though she personified grace and dignity, she was an advanced student of Tai Chi, and a woman who insisted upon dealing with issues and the struggles of life immediately, simply, and in a straightforward fashion. The result was a rare jewel of a person who was beloved by all who knew her. Cathy is survived on this plane by her adoring husband, Lawr Michaels; her step-son, Joey Michaels; and her faithful Boxatian, Macaroni; as well as her mother, Edith Hedgecock; her brother Eric Hedgecock; sister-in-law, Jill Hedgecock; and nieces, Kelly and Lindsay Hedgecock and Elizabeth Michaels; and brother-and sister-in-law, Peter and Cathie Michaels. A Memorial Service to honor and celebrate Cathy will take place in the next six to eight weeks. Cathy would love it if you would make donations to breast cancer research, or to your local Hospice should you choose to remember her. I hope you are happy in Little Hollows, Kitten. I miss you.
