I had the opportunity on several occasions to be with Cathe socially. She was always bright, bubbly & funny. A joy to be around! She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May she rest in peace.
Such a lovely lady. It was always a treat to spend time with her.
Anne and Nicole, your mom was such a wonderful women. I am blessed to have known her and to have grown up with her in my life. She will be greatly missed by so many.
It has been my pleasure to work with Cathe for nearly 10 years. During times of chaos, she was a calming influence. She was always well-thought out and articulate and able to sift through the minutiae to find the big picture. I will miss her smile and her warm sense of humor.
Dear Anne and Nicole, My thoughts are with you during this time. I feel fortunate to have so many wonderful Countryside memories with your mom. She will be missed.
Your mom was a sweetheart! Always had time to chat. Cherish all of your special memories of her. Sincerely, Dave & Claudette Hayward
Dear Anne and Nicole and families, We were very sorry to hear from your Great Aunt Dettie {Stemley) Cotter about your mother’s passing. I fondly remember the fun times we enjoyed with your mother and the entire Pawlowski family up in Michigan. Your mother always had a smile and shared happiness with all of us cousins. I am a “Dayton” first cousin to your mother,– Uncle Bob and Aunt Eleanor Stemley’s daughter. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all and Cathe. Love, Julie {Stemley) Saluke and husband, Joe Saluke…children, Andrew, Bryce and Elizabeth

I wanted to express my sincere sympathy to all of Cathe’s family. She will always be in my memory from the time I spent in Michigan with Margaret. Cathe was always kind and caring. Wishing each of you blessings to ease your loss and know you are being thought of each day.
I am a friend of Margaret’s and knowing how much she loved her sister, I just wanted to express my sorrow at your loss.
to Cathe’ family, please accept my sincere sympathy and prayers. I didn’tknow of Cathe’s illness. I work in the dining pavillian at CRH and from time to time would see Cathe. Whe I saw it in paper, I was shocked and hurt becauseI thought she was a lovely person. I was also in a couple of the Ivy Techs functions where she also was present. Just wanted you to know I cared…Bless all of you…
Cathe and I became good friends when she worked in advertising at Leo Burnett. Those of you who only knew Cathe in Columbus may be interested to know that Cathe had a very responsible job as a media researcher in advertising. She also had at least one graduate degree and worked at Northwestern University in a responsible job there. Cathe was not only a wonderful lady, she had an impressive career in Chicago advertising.
