Catherine loved to get out of the house and travel around the U.S. with friends and family.  She liked going on camping trips and fishing in any nearby ponds or lakes.  Catherine loved to turn on her favorite music and to dance along to it; and she enjoyed motorcycle rides and playing cards.  Catherine and her husband Chuck really enjoyed going to different flea markets and meeting new people. But over all, she loved spending time with her family.

A celebration of Catherine’s life will be held at a later date.
