Born February 20, 2003, Catherine spent her entire life facing severe physical and medical challenges. Through it all, her strength, bravery, and especially her smile, inspired family, friends, and everyone around her.
For over 16 years, she enjoyed being part of our community. Catherine enjoyed several years of going to school, meeting new friends, and spreading love and light through her smile. Her family would like to acknowledge the vast team of nurses, doctors and medical staff who cared for her over her lifetime, especially the homecare nurses that watched over her days and nights.
Those left to honor her memory include her parents, Corry and Ann (Siokos) Spies; sister, Hannah Spies and brothers, Michael and Matthew Spies, at home; her grandparents, Gordon and Kathryn Siokos, Bettendorf, and Tom and Denise Spies, Blue Grass; her uncles and aunts, Jimmy (Karenmarie) Siokos, Bryan (Abbie) Spies, Jason (Linh) Spies; and cousins, Ella, Noah, Eli, Harlan, Eddie, Oliver and William.
Catherine is preceded in death by her great grandparents and was greeted in heaven by her loyal therapy dog, Spirit.
