Cathy will be missed by so many; both in her personal and professional life. I was fortunate to be part of her circle of close friends for 40 years. We laughed and cried together through the years and had so much fun. I have great memories which I will cherish always. Cathy was a loyal friend who defended and protected those close to her. We shared a love of hockey, music, Hallmark movies and reality television. She had a tough exterior but a heart of gold. RIP Cathy, love you.

To my old High School buddy, so glad I got to see you before n May while visiting in Rochester! I will never forget that beautiful smile 😃 of yours! God bless you! -
48 years of friendship cannot be summed up but I have and will think of you every day. I know you were with Farrell and I walking in Mt. Hope last week and sharing some laughs. Thanks for visiting me in my dream the other night. We will miss you. -
Cathy was a good friend. I was friends with Cathy thru my sister Ann. I remember back in high school days going to the Amerks and Red Wings games and having a great time. Cathy was very smart, funny, and a very good and kind woman. Heaven has a new angel. I know she will be missed by many, including me. RIP

My superwoman, Cathy was a blessing to me as being the most reliable, astute and intelligent medical library assistant that I could ever hope to have in my career. She was my right arm for decades; helping me to create a strong and well known Circuit Librarian Program that served several healthcare institutions. She was proactive and always courteous in interacting with physicians and healthcare professionals. Cathy was the “Wind Beneath my Wings.” I considered Cathy not only as an assistant but also as a friend. We worked hard but also enjoyed each other’s company with conversation and laughter. I will miss you, my superwoman and dear friend.
