Cathy was the rock of her family and loved by all who knew her. She took care of and guided so many that they ventured though life. Many visited with Cathy in the days before her death to thank her for all her love and support in their lives. It was a terrible windy day, but on the night that Cathy peacefully passed the wind stopped and those with her felt stillness and peacefulness in their surroundings. She is loved and will be missed by so many.
No services are scheduled and per her wishes cremation has taken place. Her ashes will be buried in the family plot in Silver City, NM.
