Cathie married the love of her life Floyd “Rusty” Mount on Jan. 31, 1957. During their 63 years of marriage, they raised five children and one granddaughter.

Cathie enjoyed playing softball and then hung up her cleats for bowling. She won lots of awards for bowling.  Her real passion was taking care of her family and baking (she made the best chocolate chip cookies and the best homemade jerky). She enjoyed crocheting and making afghans for her family. She also enjoyed sewing quilts. She loved going to all the activities her children were in and loved helping with them; and then her grandchildren and then great grandchildren’s activities.  Cathie and Floyd enjoyed dancing on Saturday nights.  She loved her oompah-pah music!! She also loved playing cards with family and friends. Cathie would light up the room with her smile, she enjoyed being around people and spreading her sunshine.  Her beautiful and contagious smile will be missed by all.
