Catherine was a loving wife, mom, grandma, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She loved taking care of her grandchildren when they were younger. She was always there to babysit or pick them up from school. She was a devoted parishioner going to church at St. Vincent de Paul. She enjoyed going to the casino, hanging out with her two daughters, and having her morning/nightly cup of coffee with them.

Louis and Christine would like to thank their sister, Lisa, for leaving her job and taking care of our mom for the last two years. We “thank you” and “love you.”
