Catherine (Catina) Wilson Shupe, 87, of El Paso, Texas passed away June 18, 2022 surrounded by her loving family. Catherine was proudly born in Avalos Chihuahua Mexico on March 27, 1935 to Rene and Catherine (Morris) Wilson. Catherine traveled the country with her husband, Roy W. Shupe, who served in the Air Force for 22 years and settled in El Paso in 1970. She began her career at R E Thomason General Hospital as a Registered Nurse and retired as the Night Shift Supervisor after 20 years of service and dedication.
Catherine loved to travel, was an avid genealogist, a passionate doll collector, and a needlepoint enthusiast. Catherine will be remembered for her immense commitment to her family and friends. She was always first to help others and ready to lend a hand or offer advice. She gave without expectation. Catherine was a role model for all who knew her, she had a loving, compassionate and generous heart for all. She will be truly missed.
Catherine is survived by her sister Florence “Flossy” Delgado, her children David (Tania) Shupe, Rene Shupe, Susan Shupe, and Teresa (Ted) Bristow. Her legacy continues through her grandchildren Ashley O’Neil, Chelsie Needham, Erin Eaton, Nikki Gomez, Kyle Bristow, and Sara Catherine Shupe, and her great grandchildren Dario, Alana, Amira Catherine, June, and Atlas.
