A viewing will be held at Sandy Funeral Home on Wednesday, April 28 from 2-5 p.m. Funeral services will take place on Thursday, April 29 at 11:30 a.m. with a private interment ceremony to follow.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Catherine's name to the Hospice Foundation of America or to the charity of your choice.
