Cathy will be remembered for her enormous love for family and friends, her generosity and kindness but also for her beautiful voice. Cathy always said her most wonderful blessing was the birth of her beloved daughter Angelica, a true gift from heaven. Cathy was the aunt who always had all the kids with her throughout numerous generations.

Her love for people only grew when she owned and operated Pro Cuts. We never knew if it was her visiting or cutting hair that was most important to her. Cathy's love for music and beautiful voice became apparent when she would sing at St. Vivian's Church, which led to her singing at family gatherings. In the mist of all this her devotion working as a paralegal and victim advocate in the District Attorney's office, which brought out more of her kindness and sympathy for others. We will be left with the unknown of her love for the sound and commotion of casinos or the people she engaged with there. She left us with the gift of loving memories which will never be forgotten.
