She worked at several different places thru the years, in 2013, she along with sister Tina opened the Happy Feet Daycare. Having helped with her many nieces and nephews, she was perfectly suited for this type of work. Cathy loved children and they all loved her.
Cathy was always busy with different crafts. She crocheted many blankets and gave them to her family. During the holidays she made Christmas decorations and since her mother Wilma's passing, she, with the help of Tina, cooked the family meals for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Cathy also made sure that all of her family received a gift for Christmas. In her spare time, you would find her working the latest crossword puzzle or reading a good book. The time spent with her family was the most important to her. Cathy was also a strong supporter of the Relay for Life, doing anything she could to help with the Wilma's Angels team.
