Great Aunt Cathie, I may have not seen you much in life. But I do remember the times where we would talk when I did see you. I remember when you came by in 2021 and visited me and my mom. It was a big and awesome surprise and will always have the pictures for that. It was awesome getting to see you that day though I had no idea it was my last. You fought tough and well. You were one strong woman from what I heard. I will love and miss you may you be dancing up there with your siblings and the other family members
She will be remembered for her loving and giving ways. May her memory bring a smile to all that knew her. Going to miss the occasional calls,visits and games of cribbage. May you rest in peace. Love you.
To the whole family we have met Cathy a few times and she always had the sweetest smile. We’re so sorry and I believe she’s smiles down on all y’all.
Love Lynn and Leroy.
World’s greatest Aunt. Was always there for me even when I wasn’t looking. A calm presence that often stopped me from sweating the small stuff. A woman who had a way of always making you feel like you were #1. A friendship I will forever cherish. Love you Auntie ❤️
The most incredibly honest, loving, caring woman I’ve ever met. Her laugh and her smile are downright contagious. She has always been, and will always be proud of her children, her family, and everyone’s Aunt Cathy. I wish I could be there, but I love you guys so much.
For so many years, the lives of this friend, neighbor and her family were so intertwined with that of Gary and I and our family that we truly felt as if we were all family! So many, many memories too numerous to relate here! Even though we had moved to MN, our friends in New England will always be thought of as family. Our thoughts and prayers are with Steven, Jenn and Erin and their families. She will be sorely missed.
Love,
Gary and Brenda
