For the last fifteen years, Cathy worked at Home Depot and was greatly loved by those who worked with her. Cathy was a loving person with a big heart who was there for anyone who needed help. She loved her family and friends deeply and enjoyed spending time with them. She was a devoted Elvis fan who traveled to many Elvis celebrations and collected Elvis memorabilia.

She is survived by her parents, Robert and Betty Cross, her sister Jennifer Rogers and her brother, Darryl Cross, and their spouses. She is also survived by three nieces, two great-nieces, and one great-nephew.
