She was a wonderful mother to Lynette Pope Beal, Stephen Pope, and Melanie Pope Hertsock. There are five grandchildren: Lindsey Beal, Chad Beal, Ian Pope, Max Pope, and Lance Hertsock. Catherine and her husband Frank Pope built Pope Mayflower into a thriving business in the 1950's and 60's. She remained active in the Moving Business and Real Estate over her lifetime. She also worked at Holland America and enjoyed being a world traveler. As a member of Beta Sigma Phi for 50 years she gave back to our community. Catherine was an avid Bridge Player and belonged to the Ft Lauderdale Bridge Club. It is with sadness that her family has to say goodbye to such a wonderful mom and grandma who we love very much.
