My first memories of working at Patuxent Elementary School involve sitting with Cathy at a training. What I most remember about her was how much she cared about the children entrusted to her. My deepest sympathies to the family for your loss.

I first met Cathy about 45 years ago. She was a very sweet and caring young lady. On occasion, she came and babysat with my two young children. I never worried about them when she was in charge. My sincere condolences to the entire family. Sincerely, Gregg Hutchins, Prince Frederick, MD

Wayne, Christie, Jeffrey and family, I am so sorry for your loss, and wish so much I could be there with you. Cathy was my very first friend when I moved to Calvert County 38 years ago. We had a lot of fun during those years, from going to play bingo in the limo, to the two of us making pickles and the haunted houses at Appeal. She always had a way of making me laugh. She will surely be missed by me and by everyone who knew her. Fly high Cathy, you are no longer in pain. Keep watch over every one until we meet again. I will miss you so much.
