Cathy worked nearly her entire adult life at the same place of employment for over 40 years in Shreveport, LA, where she retired in July 2024.She loved family gatherings and seeing her grandchildren. Cathy was a movie buff and had quite a collection growing in her home. She was a loving wife and mother and was always working to support her family. Cathy loved to sing and play games. She was an avid reader and never grew out of watching her cartoons.

We will all miss her terribly. We know she is in a better place with God and her husband Tommy, where she'll hold his hand in all of eternity. We love you!

The family will gather after the graveside service at Cathy's home for dinner & visitation.
