Cathy, truly a unique person. Who else could remember all the facts on those orange cards?
A co-worker, supervisor, and friend.
She was there for the worst and best times of my life, supportive with her words of wisdom.
Family, her children, grandchildren, and friends were the core of her life. An advocate for foster children and families.
Her sense of humor and ability to take a joke yet, always be a lady.
The times spent with Cathy will always be fondly remembered. My prayers are with you.##imported-begin##Dotty Chubb##imported-end##
Cathy started out as a coworker and ended up a friend. I admired her sense of family. She was an inspiration to me as a single parent. Her wisdom,frankness and sense of humor were qualities I appreciated in her. How many people could have a whole party centered around a rat's behind?
Even in her illness Cathy inspired me. The dignity and courage she displayed while accepting her illness and it's outcome, the way she continued to connect with her friends in saying her good-byes without making it seem like good-by, the love, pride, commitment and concern she had about her family and how proud she was of each of them is what made Cathy the wonderful person she was. You will be missed Cathy, but the legacy you leave behind in the lives of the people you touched will live on to be shared with others.
In loving memory....##imported-begin##Luanne (Spott) Hawley##imported-end##
Cathy was my supervisor for several years, in the Foster Care/Day Care Licensing Unit. We had our troubles, but also, when she retired, we agreed we had no hard feelings left from those times. Cathy dedicated herself to her work, and the state could not pay her for all that she gave. She also had the talent to tell you something very unpleasant about yourself, and you'd find yourself agreeing with her, without being angry. I wish I knew how she did that! God bless her soul, and bless her loved ones, who will miss her most.##imported-begin##Sheree Read##imported-end##
Cathy started out my caseworker and became a friend. I was 14/15 when we first met - long time ago... A great lady - very high on my list of special people - she came to my wedding, I went to her retirement, and in two years I had hoped that she would come to mine. We weren't always in touch but Cathy always held a place in my heart and had great positive impact on my life.. Cathy gave me so much, I am truely blessed to have known her. I will always love you Cathy.....##imported-begin##Vicki L. Fraga (Cato)##imported-end##
