Richardson and Van Hook, PSC, working in Southern Indiana until becoming medically retired in 2005. Cathy bravely struggled with compounding and painful deterioration of her quality of life slowly over these many years.

They began dating in their junior year, graduated together, went into practice together and married on 11/22/1989. They had no children, but were very blessed to have their 5 adopted Yorkie children George & Gracie, Steve & Edie, and Norman.

Cathy is survived by husband Roger. W. Richardson and Norman.
