Catherine C. Yuhas

She graduated from Ahrens Trade School and worked for Ben Snyder and years later at Armour Foods.

She was married to her husband, John Yuhas for 37 years. They enjoyed years of camping, fishing and square dancing. Her proudest moments were with her children and her grandchildren. They were her world! We all looked forward to our yearly call from her to sing Happy Birthday. She was a Humane Society advocate and before her illness she loved having a dog in her home. During the holidays she enjoyed making fudge and baking cookies. Everyone could not wait for the gift bag of goodies. Beside her family her other love was her beloved Kentucky Wildcats!

Mom, Nanny, Cat or Cathy - thank you for every hug, every cookie, every batch of fudge, every sacrifice, and every moment of love you gave so freely. We will cherish these memories and take comfort in knowing that one day, we will see you again. Until then, rest peacefully. You were deeply loved, and you will be deeply missed.

Special thanks to her cousin, Marlene for all her love and support when it was needed the most. Our family could not of cared for mom without the love and help from Kay, Amanda, Ginette, Judy, Melinda, Jody, Dana and Stephanie.
