The memories I have with the Ashburner family are too many to list. Cathy will always be remembered from our school days, to work, and to bowling family fun, to FB contacts. She was truly a great person and will be missed. To all the family, you are all so very special and lost a wonderful daughter/sister. RIP Cathy, you will live on in my memories forever.

Cathy was a family friend for many years. She met me when I was born. I had the honor to be on her bowling team. She will be deeply missed.
