Catherine was a wonderful wife, mother, Grandma, sister, aunt, friend, and neighbor. She has left us with many wonderful memories and will be sadly missed by all those she loved dearly. Her homemade weekend donuts will be especially missed.
We would especially like to thank the staff at Parkside Care Center for all the love and care they gave our Mother and Grandmother.
