Cathie was the loving matriarch of our family, and the consummate servant to Jesus. She ministered to so many through Cursillo, Kairos prison ministry, Episcopal Church Women, Daughters of the King, and daily encounters with people. A special thanks to Baylor Medial Center oncology physicians and nurses for the outstanding care Cathie received. She adopted every nurse on the 6th floor and helped them make wedding and baby shower plans during her last lengthy stay there. Special thanks also to St Francis Medical Center physicians and nurses who cared for Cathie between courses of chemotherapy. If the heavenly praise band doesn't have a second alto upright bass player guitarist, well, they have one now.
Cathie's memorial service will be at St Thomas Episcopal Church in Monroe on Sunday May 1st at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, please make contributions to the American Cancer Society or to St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Monroe, LA in Cathie's name.
