Dear John and family,
So very sorry to learn of the passing of Cathy. I had the honor of working at ATHS with Cathy, not directly, but our paths crossed many, many times. Anytime I passed through the front office to see about this or that Cathy was there, hard at work at her desk, but always with time for a smile and a laugh. Cathy cared for us all with her understanding nature and her big heart. She knew that things rarely (if ever) went according to plan. And, as such, she would have to make an allowance; meaning it meant more work for her. I truly think Cathy was a saint. ATHS would have been a lesser place without her.
Blessing to you and family.

Dear John and Tim,
One pleasant memory (there are many) is walking up to her desk at Addison Trail High School and saying, "Cathy, I have a change in a grade. Can I still make the change?" Of course, she said "Yes," even if she should have said "No." Her kindness on Earth will please the Lord. I sure hope I see her in Heaven someday.

We are so saddened to hear about the loss of Cathy. She was the glue that kept our camping (and bowling) group going and "together" throughout the years. I will always remember camping at Devil's Lake, spaghetti dinners, her laughter,and of course, bowling. Cathy was a large part of some of my best childhood and adult memories. Our prayers go out to her family. May YOUR memories give your strength and comfort during this time. She will always be in our hearts.

We are so saddened to hear of the passing of our dear friend Cathy. You were the glue that held together our "Pollard Camping Group" thru the many years and wonderful campfire memories. We aged and stopped camping, but never stopped laughing about our many adventures. May God hold you in the palm of His hand, and may you continue to shine down on all of us here on earth. Blessings to the whole Murphy family; our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.
