Cathy’s passing will leave all who knew her with an unbelievable emptiness that nothing will fill. Also known as Catherine….her smiles, her hugs, her gentle spirit, and her generous heart will be a reminder of the pure joy she brought to all she met and everyone she knew. Catherine was in her element in the great outdoors….taking photographs of every species of wildlife imaginable. And, boy, did she capture all their images for us all to enjoy!!! She was most definitely a master of her craft!!! We will treasure you forever, Cathy.
Cathy was a faithful employee of 46 years at MidFirst Mortgage, and her “peeps” there will always remember her smile and graciousness. And, oh, those hamburger Wednesday’s” were such an awesome tradition that will remain in their hearts forever. Thank you, Cathy!!!
Funeral services will be Monday, April 18 at 10:00am at Matthew’s Funeral Home, 601 S. Kelly in Edmond, Oklahoma. Please consider contributing to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital as Catherine was a great lover of all the little ones, and please come and celebrate Cathy’s life with a joyful heart!!!
