I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Cathy at the Arthritis Foundation. She was a gentle kind lady, who was always willing to pitch in whenever needed. I enjoyed talking with about her love for cooking, her dogs and we shared an interest canning. God has chosen to take home a wonderful person and I was lucky to have met her.

Cathy was a dear and loving friend to my sister Jenny Umphfleet and that has always been a comfort to me. Though I had the pleasure to meet Cathy a few times and she always made me feel at ease. She will be missed by many.

It's hard to claim a friendship when I've known Cathy such a short time, but she IS a friend. Sweet and a wonderful sense of humor. Amazing strength.
If you need anything, Bob, just text or email or call. And I know you have a ton of family ready to stand by, as well. Sorry for your loss. I'll keep you in my prayers.

I've been fortunate to know and work directly with Cathy over the past 15 months. Her bright demeanor, positive outlook and the way she lived her life was an inspiration. She was one of a kind - a true gem - always concerned about others over herself. She loved her family and friends deeply and was extremely loyal and hardworking. We will miss her terribly. My thoughts and prayers go out to Bob and the rest of Cathy's family and friends during this difficult time.

Extending love and prayers to Bob and her loving family. We were lucky to call Cathy a dear friend for over 35 years. At some point long ago, she and Bob became our extended family. Cathy made it clear, she was not giving up without a fight. She did exactly that- bless her wonderful heart. She will be greatly missed; we are happy to know she will be watching over us now.
