Catherine Eckhardt

Catherine Eckhardt Died November 30, 2007. She is survived by her husband of 65 years, August Eckhardt; her children, James and Patricia Eckhardt; her grandchildren, Marc and Amy Eckhardt; and her sister, Florence Henderson. Catherine was born on October 30, 1917 in Egg Harbor City, NJ. She and August met in Washington, D.C. where she worked for the State Department. She transferred to the Coordinator of Information during World War II. When her husband returned from service in the Navy, they moved to Wisconsin. They spent many years in Madison, WI, before moving to Tucson in 1972. For the last six years, they have been residents of Amber Lights Retirement Community. She was exceedingly caring (through her life she volunteered for church work, Meals on Wheels, and the like); she had a great sense of humor (she laughed when she reported to her husband that she had won the "cover-all" in what turned out to be her last Bingo game); and she had an interest in everything. She was a member of the First United Methodist Church in Tucson. In lieu of flowers, please make your gift to an organization of your choice.
