Catherine was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother aunt and friend who was famous for her key lime, carrot and Italian Wedding cakes and was fondly called "the cake lady." She was a member of Hilliard First United Methodist Church and later faithfully attended First Baptist Church of Hilliard until her death. Catherine loved her Lord and Savior and much enjoyed her Senior Sunday School class and attending the Young at Heart luncheons.
Catherine was a quiet woman who served her family, friends, church and community with her loving, compassionate and servant's spirit in her younger days. She spent many years helping to organize the Methodist Church Christmas Bazaar and had been an active member of the Esther Society.
She will be dearly missed by her children, grandchildren , great grands and the many family members and friends who knew her, but we are rejoicing that she is now with her Heavenly Father. Proverbs 31:26-31 does best describe her.
