Also surviving are her nieces Gretchen (Craig) Davis, Katherine (William) Dahlheim and nephews Michael (Adornie) and James (Macy) Deter as well as 10 great-nieces and great-nephews.

Cathleen was a proud graduate of Bishop Mccort High School and Indiana University of PA earning her Bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Dietetics. She went on to earn her Masters of Medical Science degree from Emory University in Atlanta and began her career in private practice with Atlanta Medical Associates. After four years of nutrition coaching and private practice in Atlanta, Cathy co-founded and operated a nationally recognized Occupational and Environmental Medicine practice where she held the position of COO. Additionally, while Cathy resided in Atlanta, she participated in a mission trip to the Dominican Republic with Flying Doctors and worked directly with the 1996 U.S. Committee for the Olympic Games.

Throughout the remainder of her career, Cathy’s passion became patient safety. In the year 2000, she joined Becton Dickinson where she served on the pioneering edge of patient safety, helping hospitals understand medication errors and the impact technology played in downstream processes. In 2002, she joined Siemens Health Services where she continued her passion and was instrumental in developing a Patient Safety service line offering as well as offerings for specimen labeling, transfusion and patient monitoring. After leaving Siemens Health Services in 2014, Cathy obtained her Project Management Institute (PMP) certification and worked extensively in IT healthcare project management. She also consulted on clinical software installations in hospitals across the country.

Cathy was an avid animal lover; she was beloved by six Golden Retrievers throughout her whole adult life. She loved gardening and entertaining friends and family.

Cathy’s loved ones would like to thank The Glitter Guild for providing joy and loving care throughout Cathy’s cancer journey, Ohio’s Hospice for providing passionate care, Capital Health Home Care, and the many friends that supported Cathy through her illness.
