Catherine Ann Simonds

Cathy worked in surgery as a cardiovascular scrub technician for over 40 years. On May 9, 1981 she married Thomas Simonds. They raised two daughters, Joyce and Mariann.

Catherine enjoyed volunteering her time on several local boards and being a member of the local Daughters of the American Revolution chapter, and helping with the USO honor flights and naturalization ceremonies. Catherine had a passion for making beautiful cards and researching genealogy. Her hobbies included reading and spending time with her cats. Cathy was known for her compassionate volunteering spirit and had never met a stranger.

She is survived by her husband Thomas; daughters Joyce and Mariann; son in law James; two grandsons Jack and Jordan; her sisters Deborah, and Carin; and half-sisters Mari and Ann. She was preceded in death by her mother Carolyn, and half-brother John.

We are remembering Cathy with donations in lieu of flowers. The family prefers donations be made in Cathy’s honor to the Mustard Seed Furniture Bank of Fort Wayne

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
