Q: What 3 words best describe Catherine "Cathie" and why?
A: Empathy, Kindness, Great sence of humor
As a host sister 1983-1984 she cared a lot about me and did everything she could to teach me the American language and culture. We and a friend of Cathie's went camping up north and had a lot of fun. We spent many hours painting Christmas ornaments and went to Christmas Carol in the theater. She was the kindest person.
Cathy became a friend when I first moved to Tucson Az. We were both new to our apartment complex. We shared a love of Star Trek, good food and just hanging out. She was so talented. A great cook. And she made my wedding so special when she did all my church decorations. She was funny and fun to hang around. I'm so sorry for her families loss. Holly Brown Tucson Az
Cathie was a caring, generous and fun-loving person. Her hearty chuckle and beautiful smile could truly light up a room. She possessed many great qualities but her perseverance in overcoming obstacles and her ability to find joy in everyday events are excellent models for all. She was a devoted, lifelong friend who will truly be missed. Jane Anderson Beach

You will be missed!
I worked with Cathy at the little hospital in Edmore...I think it was called TriCounty Community Hospital. (That was a VERY long time ago). She invited me over a few times to swim in her pool. I loved working with her. She just made things 'easier.'
Rest in peace Cathy...I hope to see you when Jesus returns, which I truly believe is very soon!
My thoughts & prayers go out to her family!
We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Brigham Funeral Chapel - Edmore
I remember Cathie as early as us both being with Mrs. Daab for preschool day care! What a wonderful woman she became. I was proud to consider her a life-long friend! Will miss our chats!!! 🙏🏼🤗💔
I am so saddened to learn of Cathie's passing. I so enjoyed her as a student and later as an adult. Her smile always warmed my heart. My condolences to her family.
A very sweet lady RIP 🙏
