Cathy Louise Dorchak, an unforgettable mother, wife, grandma, sister, daughter, friend and teacher, passed away July 31, 2006.

We will forever cherish her incredible spirit, giving, laughter and joy of life. She lived her life to the fullest, and she will always remain an inspiration to those who knew her.
