I worked with Cathy at Orlando Health. She was an energetic and positive person with a caring attitude who brought a smile to those she encountered. May she rest in peace.
Cathy was a wonderful friend and coworker whose kindness and laughter touched everyone around her. I’ll always remember the joy she brought into our lives and the special moments we shared. She will be deeply missed, but her light and spirit will never be forgotten.
❤️❤️❤️
We love you Auntie Kathy! 🥹🩵🩵 May you rest in peace.
Cathy was a kind and sweet person. She will be missed. ❤️❤️❤️
I am so grateful that Milton introduced me to Cathy all those years ago. She was living proof that when you put God first and love at the root of everything you do, you can truly change lives. Cathy’s giving spirit wasn’t just generous—it was transformative. She made everyone feel better, more hopeful, and more loved just by being herself. Her faithful example of always putting others first will continue to inspire me and so many others. What a beautiful legacy of love she leaves behind.
On behalf of Jones High School Class of 1988, we pray that Cathy’s family and friends receive peace and comfort during this time. Cathy will be missed!
My deepest condolences to the Family, may GOD comfort you in this time of need. #SIP Beautiful
Cathy was a great friend and an awesome neighbor. She made it her mission to be the neighborhood Auntie by loving on all the kids in the cul-de-sac. There were no strangers when it came to her meeting new people. She was my morning call leaving Tobie Court and my confidant when in need. She could always see the positives in all situations and helped you laugh when you wanted to cry. Rest in heavenly peace.
We were vacationing in Orlando and stopped by a random fruit stand. I made eye contact with this sister whose smile was so welcoming, that I had to introduce myself. Thus began a long distance friendship. When they came to Seattle, WA for their Alaskan cruise, they spent a night with us. I just remember picking them up, seeing Cathy, embracing her and crying like long lost sisters!! Their love for each other and for The Most High, left a lasting impression, both physically and spiritually on this older couple.😊 Milton, Cathy was a fighter. I know you will miss your wife, but I also know that you will find peace in knowing that she is truly resting now. May The Most High keep you, the family and all of us covered in His Hedge of Protection, until we all meet again.🙏🏿🙏🏿
Blessings my brother, Debra and Johnnie Mobley,

Ms.Cathy is an extraordinary person. I had the honor of meeting her because she’s my godson grandmother. From day one, she’s welcomed me with open arms and stead fast love. She’s truly a treasure that I’m glad so many people had the pleasure of find and being able to have a piece of. I know Mr. Milton and their beautiful blended family will truly carry a piece of her with them. This is an unconditional love that has nowhere to go. I hope the family can will able to be garnish her pureness and share it amongst each other. Her love and spirit is light of guidance, peace and prosperity and I’ll always keep the memories I have with her,and of, her close.
I met Cathy 11 years ago. We were coworkers first and became friends. I describe Cathy in 4 words: Faith, Family, Friends, Fun. I will miss our laughing spells where our stomachs hurt so bad from laughter. I will miss Cathy’s smile, hugs, compassion, and thoughtful insight. I thank Milton and Cathy’s entire family for sharing her with me and I wish you all the comfort that comes from memories of Cathy I love you Cathy…my dear friend 💕.
