Cathy dealt with many challenges in her life because of Down's Syndrome. But, as her family, we would all agree that dear little “Cat” was a bright spot in our lives, always having a hug and a smile for everyone she met. Cathy loved the Lord and was a mighty Christian…a shining example to all around her. She was much loved and will be greatly missed.
Burial: 12:30 p.m., Wednesday, March 23, 2016 at the Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery in Dallas.
