Catherine Lee Swim, born July 29, 1950, in El Paso, Texas, passed away on September 18, 2025, in Redding, California, surrounded by family. She was 75 years old. Cathy was predeceased by her parents, Maj. Charles H. Swim Sr. and Helen "Nancy" Grisham, as well as her sister Linda Casterline.
Cathy is survived by her son Scott Lambrix, grandson Hudson Lambrix, her sisters Sherry Worden, Lisbeth Ireland, Marty Glenn, brothers Charles H. Swim Jr. and John-Steven Swim, plus numerous nieces and nephews. Cathy worked for State Farm for more than 35 years, positively impacting the lives of many clients and coworkers alike. In 2005, she graduated with a BA in Business from University of Phoenix helping to advance her career. She will live on with our memories of her infectious laugh and her spunky sometimes mischievous sense of humor.
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her.
