Catherine was very active in her children's activities; she was a Brownie troop leader and a Cub Scout pack mother. She helped with school magazine sales, homecoming floats, high school football concessions and band boosters. She was active in Eastern Star, Portia, PEO, Congregational Woman's Fellowship and Congregational Quilters. Catherine was also a big sports fan of the Plainsman and Hawkeyes. And more recently a secondary fan of the Packers and Badgers. In her later years she did not want to leave her beloved hometown. Many thanks to those individuals who made it possible for her to live in her apartment until May 2015. In June she moved to Waunakee Manor in Waunakee, Wisconsin to be closer to family.
