Cathy was a loving woman. Some of her happiest moments were spent outdoors feeling the warmth of the sun on her face with a Sundrop and a cigarette in hand with her family around her. She is at peace now with her husband, parents and other family members. She was truly loved and will be missed.

Cathy and Lee Smith have 4 children: Michelle (Eric) Rogers, Kristy (Pat) Holt, John and Bethany Smith. Cathy has several grandchildren: Baily, Eric, Kylee, Gavin, Eli, Hannah, Kane and Cody.
