CATHY DOUGHTY Obituary
As a young child her family moved to Sedro- Woolley where she graduated high school in 1978.
Cathy enjoyed reading, garage sales, trips to Sequim and Hawaii, camping in Canada, working and especially her family-she was concerned more about family and friends than herself. She was loyal, loving, caring, respectful and giving. She worked for many years at Max Dales until starting her own cleaning company.
Cathy was preceded in death by her father: J.B. "Red" and sister in law: Diane Norris.
She is survived by her husband: Jim; mother: Margaret; sister: Ann (Mark) White; brothers: Ron (Dyllan) Norris, Ken (Dawn) Norris; children: Joe (Tiffany) Schibret, V, Jenny Schibret, Mike (Michelle) Doughty and Kim (Greg) Lee; grandchildren: Parker and Molly Rocha, Jacob and Shayne Doughty, Austin and Shelby Lee; brother in law: Dr. Lloyd Anderson; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles.
In the span of Cathy's life she touched all she met. Her loving way and smile was her gift to the World. Her belief in God enabled her to love and care for all she knew, that faith is what helped her battle cancer.
A private family service will take place at a later date.
In lieu of flowers and cards, memorials may be made in Cathy's name to Hospice of the Northwest.

Dear Family of Cathy,
Although I didn't know of her battle or that she was ill, I wanted to say I think she was one of the sweetest people ever. We grew up together and shared many common & mutual friends and good experiences as children. It looks like she didn't change even a little bit except to become a precious wife, mother, family member and friend to many. So sorry for your loss.

Growing up as a child, my families favorite restaurant was Max Dales and our favorite server was Cathy. As Mom and Dad loved to go out to eat at least once a week, we all had the pleasure of being taken care of by Cathy countless times over the years. My sister had even dated Cathy's brother in high school so I got to know her pretty well. Just the past couples of years, Cathy And I became reacquainted after so many years as I now work with her daughter Jenny. 13 months ago, my Mom past away from metastatic breast cancer and upon returning to work after taking a little time off, Cathy was the first person to make a special trip to come see me at work. She gave me a big hug, told me how sorry she was and how much she loved me Mom, and asked me how I was doing. She was like a angel before me that day and pretty much every memory I have here is like that. Always putting others first and always taking great care of all those around here. My deepest sympathys go out to all of Cathy's family and friends and I just feel so blessed that I had the opportunity to get to know Cathy.

Dear Jim and all of Cathy's family,
This is indeed a sad time. Cathy was a special woman. She cared about others more than herself. She loved animals and was very giving with her 'treats' that they all came to depend on.
I miss her very much already as I am sure all of you do.
I hope your memories of Cathy help you through this time. I will hold my memories of her close to my heart forever.

Having Cathy as an older cousin I always thought she was one of the coolest girls ever. I wanted to be that cool.
As young adults I found her to be one of the kindest, sweetest people I had the pleasure of knowing.
As older adults we grew apart and that will be both a regret and a lesson. I am so sad for her family and want them all to know that I love them and have admired their strength, closeness, and resilience forever.
