Catherine was a devout Catholic who was generous with her prayers for people in need. She was loving, caring, and kind, and courageous, and lived her life with the innocence of a three-year-old, and the intellect and heart of a great teacher and mother.

Her legacy lives on in her children, and her great-grandchild. Her children were her life. As a single mother, struggling to raise four young children and needing to rise above her personal challenges, fought every day to fulfill her duty as a mother. She loved them unconditionally. She was always so proud of their accomplishments however small or large. She was their greatest cheerleader.
