Ms. Catherine dedicated over 30 years of her life sewing in the textile industry. Beyond her work, Ms. Catherine found great joy in caring for her family, whom she loved deeply. She was happiest in the kitchen, cooking hearty meals and creating cherished memories around the dinner table. In her quiet moments, she enjoyed watching Fox News and the I.D. Channel, always keeping up with the world and indulging in her favorite mysteries. She also had a fondness for her chewing tobacco-one of her signature comforts.
