I worked with Cathy during my 10 1/2 yrs at Marsh/Mercer. She was always so funny and I have fond memories of her. My deepest sympathies for your loss.

“Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day.. unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear.”
My sweet Aunt Cathy was taken away all to soon from this world. I know you are not suffering anymore, which brings me great peace. I know you will always be around in our hearts, our minds, our memories and our thoughts. I cherish the 34 years I was able to have you and am a better person for having you as my aunt and being loved by you. You were such a blessing to all around you and know I love you always!

Cathy was the best mother-in-law anyone could ask for. I always enjoyed the way she loved her daughters and her grandchildren made her heart glow. You will be missed and remembered with a smile. Your sweet spirit will always be with us. Love you Cathy!

What an everlasting impression another person could not leave with anybody she encountered. I along with so many others were very blessed to have been a part of such a dear hearts life. A woman with an iron clad determination, she was very charitable and giving of herself. Through test and turmoil, Cathy was a true fighter. I will miss you sister. Love and warm memories will always remain.
Gene Meenach says
Cathy was my sister-in-law. I married her sister who actually was a surviving member of her family as well along with her younger sister and two brothers. Their family became mine in a more loving way than mine has been for me. She was loving,kind and giving to a fault. She always made sure she had extra to give by working a second job . That is how much she strived to love those around her. She lived life to the fullest and made the most of every waking hour. She will be missed only in body. Her presence will always be felt when we talk about her and remember “old times”. She is in Paradise where she rightfully should be !

Cindy,
You and I both know Cathy is no longer in pain and is now in a much better place. My occasional meetings with Cathy were always a pleasure, she seemed to be a cheerful soul and we need more like her. I know she will be sorely missed but knowing she’s no longer in pain, is a blessing. She will always live in your heart and she will be with you every day. Treasure your memories and be glad for the time you shared while she was here. Love, Mom

My sympathies to the Hornung family, Aimee, Julie & grandchildren for the loss of they’re sister, Mom & grandma. She was my cousin and I have some great memories of our families getting together. First bus ride downtown together alone–no parents, the root beer stand & West Side Story…..my heart is with you!!!!
Annie says
My sister Cathy to me was one person who understood me very much and even more so after our mom died. She was the older sister any younger sister would love to have and I think Susie would agree! At the end, when i went to her house, i will never forget the last talks we had. They will stay within me. I will not be able to fill this huge hole in my heart that was created when you left. I love you and miss you. annie-ree
Jeane McClain says
I grew up right outside of Fort Harrison and knew the Hornung family back in grade school. I am still in touch with Cindy and Gene Meenach. The Hornungs were a close and warm family and I always admired how much they loved one another. I did not know Cathy well but feel like I did from hearing from others how much she loved her children, her grand children and her nieces and nephews throughout the years. It brings joy to my heart knowing her spirit lives on in the hearts of everyone she loved so dearly. Rest in peace Cathy.
Carol Kortman says
Aimee, you and your family have been in my thoughts. I am so sorry about your mom. Although I only very briefly met her, she clearly left a wonderful impression on those who were close to her.
Aimee says
We were always a spiritual family, brought up catholic…but I have never believed in the Higher Power more than now….my BEAUTIFUL momma brought me into this world, and God granted me the priviledge of being right next to her holding on for my life, has her heart stopped beating…I believe at that very moment her beautiful spirit soared…high and bright…everlasting! She will always live in my heart and my mind…memories that I will forever cherish
Momma, you are my BEST friend, by confidant, my warrior, my hero…I miss you so very much already, but I will honor you by trying to live my life as you lived yours…I love you always

My sweetest grama… You were my best friend, my grama, my mom at times, and most of all the biggest influence in my life. I am so grateful that I had the privilege of calling you grama. You fought the good fight with nothing less than a smile on your beautiful face. You truly are the strongest person I know! You taught me so very much in my 23 years of life and none will ever be forgotten. I love you to the moon and back grama. I will miss you EVERY day but to know you are out of pain and with your loved ones. You were one of a kind grama; no one will ever replace you or come close. You always have been and always will be my angel, now with golden wings.
Your girl always…
