The family thanks Dr. Sriratana and the staff at Advocate BroMenn Hospice for their care and support but especially Dr. Sasikali Royurru for her compassionate, attentive care and comforting presence for the family.
Cathy had a bright smile, an outgoing personality and a spirit of kindness and generosity that made her the magnificent person she was! We will remember Cathy for her love of family and friends, her zest for life, her indomitable spirit, her passionate gardening (and love of Zinnias!), and her love of travel. Cathy was a loving and patient wife, mother, aunt, sister and daughter, and will be greatly missed by all of those who were fortunate to have ever been a part of her life. Cathy was always happiest when with family and friends. She will be remembered forever for having an enduring and profound positive influence on her son, Jason, to whom she taught strength, confidence and perseverance. She was truly his role model. We will miss the sparkle in her eyes and laughter in her voice. She lived a full life. Lastly, Cathy is survived by her constant companion, best friend, office mate and namesake of her publishing company, Coco Chanel.
