Cathy was always so full of life, love and laughter. She never knew a stranger and always had a smile on her beautiful face. She loved her family and was the absolute best Mom and Grandmother to her family but she also always cared and loved all the “Capon Kids” thru the many years of her life. She was always “the joy” in any gathering she attended and if you ever heard her giggle or laughter you will surely never forget it.
She was adored by her children and loved so very deeply. She was the HEART of this family and enjoyed many years of family gatherings, going to the river, camping, traveling, sporting events, attending many deaf social gatherings and just having a blast. She loved life to the fullest and was one of the greatest women EVER!
