After graduating from Mark Keppel High School in Alhambra, CA, Cathy became an accountant in her earlier years.

She also brought her horse, Freckles, with them. Shortly after, she got another horse named Ben as a companion to Freckles. Cathy loved horses and taking care of them until illness made her change her lifestyle. She attended Northway Church. She enjoyed playing Facebook games, doing crafts and spending time with her family. Cathy especially loved going to see anything that involved her grandchildren when she was able.

She was predeceased by her parents and grandparents. Survivors include her husband, Steve; daughter, Dawn (Scott); daughter, Melissa (Amanda); son, Steven Jr. (Brittney); grandkids: Leah, Karlee, Nevaeh, Lauryn, Raelee, Silas and Carson; uncle; aunts; and many cousins.
