Ruth Catt Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Douglass Funeral Service on Oct. 1, 2025.
Ruth Catt, beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on September 11, 2025, at the age of 74.
Born on June 10, 1951, in Puerto Rico, Ruth lived a life defined by love, generosity, and devotion to her family. She graduated from high school early and began her career in administration and human resources, where her dedication and compassion for others left a lasting impression on everyone she worked with.
Ruth's proudest role in life was that of a mother to her children, Stephen Catt and Jennifer Catt, and grandmother to her cherished grandsons, Connor and Wyatt Morse. She poured her heart into supporting and nurturing her family, always putting their needs above her own.
Known for her creativity and talent, Ruth was a gifted costume-maker, crafting imaginative Halloween costumes for her children year after year and later designing costumes for their theater performances. She found joy in sewing, crafting, and creating, and her work brought happiness to many.
Ruth will be remembered for her kindness, warmth, and unwavering love. Her generosity touched everyone she met, and her presence brought comfort and light to those around her.
She will be deeply missed by her children, grandchildren, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.
A private memorial service will be held at the convenience of the family.
