Theresa, Mary Jo and famlies, my sympathy on the loss of your beloved sister. Growing up I met Cathy and then later worked with her at Garberson and HRH. I admired her greatly. Fly high sweet lady you are now at peace.
Sandy McFarland Hays says
Sending prayers and sympathy to all of Cathy’s family.
Bernadette Miller says
Cathy started my job at HRH many years ago – when the hospital first opened we had staff sitting at the front desk and we would direct patients to rooms or wherever they needed to go. Cathy had other activities on Wednesday, so I worked Wednesday evening and every other weekend, and to think that led me into a 23 year job at HRH. I always enjoyed visiting with her – we both enjoyed canning and we often shared recipes for apple butter or other fun items to make. Cathy is now at peace and I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Jana Wilson says
Cathy was our neighbor for a time when we lived in Miles City. We moved but I have thought of her often over the years. My condolences to her family.
Audre Haumschild says
The most beautiful and amazing lady. Going miss you for a long time my Cathy. Love you RIP. Hugs and prayers Theresa.
Caroline Parent Ford says
I went to school with Cathy and she was a member of “the thundering herd”. Our herd was always doing some sort of mischief. I remember all of us going to the Montana Theater with boxes of talcum powder which we dusted onto the shoulders of the people in front of us. Cathy was the smartest (I thought) of us and she could make up wonderful stories. She was a natural born story teller and should have been a writer.
I’m sorry you’ve lost Cathy. But well done, Cathy.
Kim Stanton says
