Catherine had a deep love for reading and music. She had a passion for plants with an incredible talent for gardening; a true green thumb. She loved family gatherings, with good food, fun and games. Those close to Cathy knew she possessed a wicked sense of humor; sharp witted and astute, the hallmark of a person who successfully navigated many of life's challenges. Humor could be her armor and like most things she wore it well. In the best way, she was a force to be reckoned with. Those in her inner circle knew the depth of her character as a kind, generous loving person. Catherine will be remembered for her unbeatable blend of salty and sweet, her incredible sense of humor and an infectious laugh.
