Catherine kindly known as Mommom to friends and family loved being with her family, hearing stories of their travels, phone calls from grandchildren around the country. She was the matriarch of our family and will be missed. At her request there will be no services.

The last big lesson learned from Mommom the last few months is-Don't save that new purse, new blouse wear in now, travel while you are young enough to enjoy it.

A memorial gathering will take place on September 2nd from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM to celebrate Catherine's life. 12 Hearthstone Court Mechanicsburg PA.
