Her parents were Florence and Clyde Bolls of Corpus Christi and she had 2 older twin sisters, Dorothy and Ruth, and a little brother, Jimmy. She was married to Douglas Frank North for over 60 years until his passing in 2017.
Cathy played the French horn in high school and loved to sing. So much so, that she voluntarily wrangled up a children’s choir at Faith United Methodist Church. She loved singing hymns, even earlier this year during her Sunday church visits to Christ UMC in Sugar Land with her son David. She also loved painting and sewing.
She belonged to a porcelain arts club, enjoyed traveling to the annual convention, and had her own kiln to fire her work. She was a talented seamstress and worked for many years with a friend in her drapery business. She was an avid gardener and had the prettiest array of amaryllis bulbs and pink roses that would bloom every spring in the yard.
She had 4 children: Doug Jr, Patricia, David, and Stacy, and 4 grandchildren: Sydney, Olivia, Owen, and Audrey. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy! She loved their visits and traveling to visit them on many occasions. She and her husband were residents of Oak Ridge North for over 40 years and had many friends in the neighborhood.
She loved people, all people, never met a stranger, and was always willing to lend a hand to someone in need. She was so deeply loved, and we treasured our time with her.
Catherine’s memorial service will be available via Facebook Live on Thursday, October 15 at 3PM.
