Cathy & Jerry were our neighbors at Greers Ferry lake. Many wonderful stories. I love them both very much. Some of the finest people you’ll ever meet. She will be missed dearly. May God bless her & bring peace to Jerry and all the family. I am so sorry. We just found out. There’s not enough Makers Mark on the earth to make this right. Be strong brother.
Waffy was one of my best friends. The first time I met her I was in the 6th grade. I had the best time around her. She never met a stranger and always made you feel welcomed!! She lived life to the fullest and loved hard. I will miss my friend,cuz, my Waffy so so much. Keep laughing that laugh I’ll never forget u buttercup!
I have spent many many summers on Greer's Ferry Lake growing up with Cathy! She was always so so sweet to me and my family. I rode on the boat with she and Jerry as a teenager thinking it was the coolest thing ever! I'm now 41 and still think of them every time I pass by where they had a place on the lake. Cathy was one of a kind and her memory will always be with me!
I will miss her greatly, GOD speed Cathy.
Carhy you will be missedðŸ˜. She always opened her door and arms for me when I tagged along on visits. She was a very smart and wise lady who always made me laughâ¤ï¸. With love, laughter and sometimes tears she was a rock. So glad I was able to get to know this sweet lady💛🧡â¤ï¸
An unforgettable lady. Lots of great memories of her and Jerry.
Truly unforgettable and happy person. She always lit up the room and was always happiest around friends and family.
An effervescent personality with a big smile and unique laugh that one will never forget.
Cathy (Waffy) such a beautiful soul inside and out. Every-time I would be in Rogers to visit there was never a moment we all weren’t laughing and carrying on. I loved her spirit so much. So blessed to have loved and known her.
