Never forget my first experience with working with Cathy . I'm ready for a break and she says " one more shower" . We had many great times working together and as friends we had even more good times outside of work.. She loved listening and dancing with a band which we did much of. Her laugh was contagious. She worked so hard that getting the opportunity to spend time with her outside of work was memorable . Cathy fought like a trooper to beat this awful cancer that consumed her in the end, and I wouldn't have expected anything less from her. Cathy will never realize how many lives she has touched. God bless the family who gave up their mother, daughter, and siblings for work to take care for others. Love you Cathy and thank you

So blessed to have worked with Cathy at.Covered Bridge. Cathy could run circles around all of us young enough to be her kids. Cathy was so devoted to caring for others that she took very little time to enjoy life outside of work. Cathy never complained and always had a smile and that wonderful laugh. She was such an inspiration to all of us who had the pleasure of knowing her. Cathy continued to fight until the last 2 days. She has no idea the number of lives she touched by just being her loving self. A wonderful woman and proud to say a wonderful friend. You will be with us always Cathy. Prayers for Shirley, vickie and all of Cathys family. Ahe will be missed by so many.

Cathy was a beautiful person. She truly cared for the people she worked with. I was blessed to have had the opportunity to work with such a great person. She was an angel in disguise that's for sure. One of the biggest hearted persons i have ever met.

Cathy was a special lady with a heart of gold. She touched our lives in ways that made her an angel to us. Jim and Becky Kendall

I'm so sorry for your great loss. May prayers strenthen you and memories comfort you during this difficult time. Our God promises to reunite us with our loved ones we've lost. During that time we will all grow to perfection, never again to fear sickness, pain, or death. What a joyous time to look forward to. John 5:28,29. Isaiah 33:24 Revelation 21:3,4

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

My dad was at Covered Bridge Assisted Living from 2003-05 when I took him back to his home place until he passed in 2011. Cathy was one of the ladies my dad gave a nickname to as she was always so friendly and happy to help in anyway she could. Even when she was not assigned to the assisted living area she would check on him, especially after his hospital stay with pneumonia and subsequent bacterial problem we suffered through correcting so he could be released to go back home. He called her Chatty Cathy and we just want to let her family know how much we appreciated her care for our family members. An angel has been lost here on earth and we were privileged to know her.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
