Cathie touched so many by her selfless acts of kindness. She always sought the good in others and would consistently, with a loving heart, always place other people’s needs before her own. Cathie was always taking care of others. She was always cheerful, had a positive outlook, and was very generous. It brings tears to our eyes to think we would never see her smile again.

A memorial was held for Cathie, where numerous people shared how much she was loved and will be fondly remembered. Cathie was and is irreplaceable – one of a kind. Special does not even begin to describe her. Those of us who knew Cathie are beyond lucky to have had her in our lives for the short 53 years that she lived among us. Cathie was an earth Angel and now a true Angel in Heaven.

Memorial contributions may be sent to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
