The Lord’s church was her first love. She was a faithful member of Elizabethton Church of Christ. She loved working with High Rock Bible Camp and enjoyed trips to Dollywood. Her love for the children at High Rock Bible Camp encouraged her to schedule her two weeks’ vacation each year so she could work with the kids at HRBC. All the children knew Cathy would bring with her a trunk of candy and goodies to give to her kids at camp. Miss Cathy retired from James H Quillen VAMC in 2012 after 30 years of service.
