Anyone who knew Cathy instantly felt the unconditional love that flowed from her. She had a way of making you feel like you were the most important person in her life. Forming lifelong friendships came naturally to her, and she connected easily with so many people. Coworkers and friends often would affectionately call her “Aunt Cat”, “Nana Cat” or sometimes “Momma C”. Cathy welcomed everyone into her life and treated each person with the highest regard. She was an animal lover, especially her dogs Korbit and Bearbear.

A friend of hers recently said that she always made him feel “seen.” She never judged anyone and treated everyone with the same kindness and respect. Although she fought a long, hard battle with her health for many years, she never complained about the pain and struggles she endured. She often hid them from her family, suffering in silence, yet she was always there for others.

Cathy was generous to a fault. Though she never had much to give, she would offer you her last dollar or the shirt off her back in a heartbeat. She will be missed by many and will forever be our “Pink Princess.” As she always said to her loved ones, “I love you to the moon and back.”
