We loved Cathy very much! She always took care of those around her and made everyone feel special. Our children, Bart and Brandon, will always remember Cathy's huge cucumbers and zuchinni she grew in her beautiful garden and we all recall her delicious meals that could easily feed an army! She was a blessing in our lives! She had a heart of gold and although we will miss her, we have fond, loving memories of her that will last forever. Mike, Paula, Bart and Brandon

Dear Cathy was a wonderful member of our family. She loved so well and took such wonderful care of our grandpa, "Papa". She was one of the hardest working people I know.. and pies.. Oh my - her pies ! No one could make a better pie than Cathy.. she always had an apricot one for me ready when we visited.. (or black raspberry). Cathy lived a good life on this earth, touched many lives with her sweet kindness, and our heart mourns her passing.
