Catherine Contris Obituary

WESTMINSTER -- Catherine "Cathy" J. Contris, age 70, passed away on April 6, 2022, at 4:01 pm, at her residence surrounded by her family. Cathy was born March 10, 1952, in Lima, OH, to Walter W. and L. Marie (Bailey) Morris who preceded her in death. On December 30, 1992, she married Michael "Mike" L. Contris who preceded her in death on February 4, 2022.

Cathy was a 1970 graduate of Elida High School. She had worked as an STNA with Columbia Care Center. Then she joined her husband as a self-employed business owner. After retiring in 2007, she took a new path and became a realtor working for CCR. She was a member of the Christian Assembly Worship Center.

I wish to send my deepest sympathy to Cathy's children, whom she loved so much. Although I am unable to be there in person to say goodbye to my very special friend, the first friend I ever had, I will be there in spirit. Growing up with Cathy & Bill was one of the happiest times of my life. I will cherish the memories made with this awesome woman. Rest in peace my sweet friend. I love you.
