A private family memorial service was held at Mount Moriah Funeral Home on Saturday March 4th.
She was born in Jacksonville, Florida on April 30, 1945. She was predeceased by her parents, Mary Ann Sims, and Edward Dodson and her brother Edward Dodson Junior. She attended the University of Kansas, and subsequently became an outstanding contributor to Kansas City. Cathleen was the CEO and owner of Dodson Group Insurance Company. She served on the boards of UMB Bank, The Menninger Foundation, The Midwest Research Institute, Wayside Waifs, Command and General Staff College, and was a member of Business Executives for National Security. She was also named as one of the Top 500 female business owners in the United States in 1999.
In addition to serving the community and the planet, she had no greater love than her family: her beloved husband Dr. Don Macauley, daughter Amy Johnston, granddaughter Lili, her son Hale Johnston and his wife Christina, granddaughter Jessica, grandson Henry, her stepdaughter Shauna Macauley, and stepson Mark Macauley.
All that knew her shall forever miss the wit, humor, charm, and love that was her very essence.
Memorial contributions may be made to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Childhood Cardiomyopathy Foundation, or Wayside Waifs.
