Catherine was my across-the-hall neighbor at Christus St. Joseph Villa. She generously shared with me her Salt Lake Tribune newspapers, visitors (including friends CeCe Holt, Antoinette Rahman, and son Fr. John Norman), many stories of growing up in southern Idaho and adult life in Logan, as well as her maiden (my married) name, Kirkpatrick. She was a true sweetheart and will be greatly missed by all whose lives she touched.
