Cathy was a homemaker who loved her family and enjoyed making memories with them.

Cathy was a woman of unwavering faith in God, as evidenced by her years of teaching youth Catechism through the church, as well as her years of dedication to the Secular Franciscans and passion for bringing musical contributions to Sunday Mass. Cathy had a passion for arts and crafts, particularly painting, where her unwavering faith in God was clearly portrayed, as she recognized that God is present in all we do and see.
