Affectionately referred to as Cid by her sisters, Queen by her grandchildren who adored her and whom she adored, and sweetheart by her husband, Catherine loved gardening, cooking spectacular meals, discussing politics, and spending time with the people she loved most. She sewed dresses for her granddaughters, planted trees and flowers to make her grandchildren happy, talked for hours with the people she loved, and made the best oyster dressing there ever was. She served as counselor to many people who turned to her for guidance and advice. For those who were fortunate to love her so much, our lives will never be the same. A private service will be held for close family and friends.
