Today, with heavy hearts, we celebrate the life of Cathy Lord. She touched so many of our lives in a positive way with her incredible energy, kindness and generosity, always putting others first.  Cathy was very committed and dedicated to Bourns values.  Cathy would travel to help identify improvement opportunities at various Bourns locations including on holidays, which perfectly demonstrated her fun loving, caring nature and dedication. 

As we bid farewell to Cathy, let us carry forward the love and laughter Cathy brought into our lives. We are comforted knowing that Cathy is now at peace, resting in the loving arms of God. Though Cathy may no longer be with us in body, Cathy’s spirit will forever echo in our hearts, reminding us to cherish each moment and seize the day.  

Cathy will be deeply missed, but her memory will forever inspire us to live with the same Christian values, love, and generosity that defined her life. Cathy through her legacy of commitment, tenacity, servant leadership, integrity, compassion and love combined with her joyfulness she will continue to inspire us all to be better and to live and enjoy life.

Dear Cathy,

I never expected that that it was our last meet (that picture was taken in Osaka at December 2024).  

You looked always cheerful and  working with fun even when you had a lot of things  to do.
When I joined BKK, you gave me a lot of training including history of what has been discussed about BKK etc. 
Thanks to your support, I could catch up with the role quickly. 

It is still hard for me to accept such a sad news. We will never forget your lovely smile.

I got a chance to know Cathy a bit after I joined the board of Bourns in 2023 and she joined us for a portion of each board meeting. Cathy was very competent and she cared deeply about Bourns, she continued to punch above her weight and participate in meetings even when she was going through difficult medical treatments. She was kind and good-humored and inspired confidence in all of us about the important work that she did for Bourns. I will miss Cathy personally and professionally. RIP.

Cathy was a very special person.  I had the pleasure of interviewing her for her position at Bourns in 2016.  From the moment I met her, I knew she was the right person for the job.  Cathy was professional in every sense of the word and became a critical member of the team.   While she was committed to excellence, Cathy was a pleasure to work with....a rare combination.  I will miss her.

We were deeply saddened to learn of Cathy’s passing. Over the many years we had the privilege of working with her, she was always kind, gracious, and a true pleasure to work alongside. Her professionalism, warmth, and genuine spirit left a lasting impression on all of us.

It is heartbreaking to lose someone so special far too soon. Please know that our thoughts are with your family, and all who had the good fortune to know her. She will be greatly missed, but fondly remembered.

With heartfelt sympathy,

Dear Cathy,

I'm struggling to believe that you're really gone. Your knowledge and expertise at work were always impressive, and you were so full of energy, with an infectious smile and a wealth of talents. I especially remember that the pretty Christmas card you painted for the BETL Finance team not only showcased your artistic gift but also conveyed your warmth and care for the team. That beautiful memory will forever remain in everyone's hearts.

In this difficult time, my thoughts are with your family and loved ones.  May God bless them and bring them comfort. I will miss you deeply, Cathy.

Dear Cathy's family,

     I was heartbroken to hear about Cathy's passing. I wanted to share a special memory of her that I will always cherish.

My colleague, Sandy Chen, and I had the unique pleasure of meeting her in a most unexpected way. We were on a personal trip to Hungary on October 12, 2019, when our paths crossed. It was such a delightful surprise to run into a teammate from our US office so far from home. Her sweet and radiant smile left a lasting impression on both of us. Even in that brief moment, it was clear what a kind and beautiful person she was.

She will be greatly missed. Please accept our deepest sympathies.

Dear Cathy,

It’s hard to believe this is real — it feels as if you’re still somewhere.

Your life, though too short, was filled with so many glories. You were always curious, always patient in sharing, and always full of energy.

It’s hard to accept that you’re gone, but we will remember you always.

Belinda Chang

Dear Cathy,
I was deeply shocked and heartbroken to hear of your passing. It still feels unreal, and I cannot understand why life can be so cruel. The night I learned the news, I couldn’t stop crying, and sleep was impossible. We have lost not only a wonderful colleague but also a dear friend.
When you visited Taiwan last September, you looked so full of life—radiant, even more youthful and beautiful than before. I still remember receiving the PIXI powder you thoughtfully sent me last Christmas; it was such a kind gesture that warmed my heart.
It is hard to believe that someone so vibrant and full of energy could leave us so suddenly. May you continue to shine with the same spirit in heaven as you did here on earth. May God watch over your family and bring them comfort. I will miss you dearly.
With love and remembrance,
Cynphia Ho

Dear Cathy's Family and Loved Ones,

Her kindness, sharp intellect, and collaborative spirit always stood out to me.  Conversations with her were productive and genuinely enjoyable—she brought both professionalism and warmth to every interaction. She will be deeply missed.
My heartfelt condolences to all of you.

I was heartbroken to hear about Cathy's passing. It feels unreal, especially since we were just talking about turning 50 soon.  I will deeply miss you visiting me in my office whenever we were at the corporate office. I will always treasure the memories and the laughter we shared.
Please know that I'm keeping you and your family in my thoughts during this difficult time.

I was deeply saddened to hear about Cathy's passing.

I had the opportunity to work with her during one of the internal audits conducted by her team. What started as a formal interaction quickly turned into warm conversations at company events, where we’d often stop to chat. Cathy had a way of making people feel at ease—she was outgoing, easy to talk to, and always had a kind smile to share.

Despite her impressive knowledge and expertise in her line of work, she was a down-to-earth person. Her professionalism, warmth, and positive spirit left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

Cathy will be deeply missed. My thoughts are with her loved ones during this difficult time.
