The couple married on June 1st 1985. She and Ralph together worked, lived, and raised a wonderful family in Ceres, CA. Her children remember her as a wonderful mother who was very committed to her family and encouraged them to pursue their goals. She was always concerned about the well being of her family and always making sure they came first and they were taken care of. Cathy was truly a treasure to everyone; uniquely kind, loving and at the same time strong. As busy as she was working for the family business, being a homemaker and a mom, she still found time to always be the first person at your door when hard times hit. She always found a way to make you smile and laugh. If Cathy was your friend you were never truly alone. She was a dedicated individual who loved supporting not only her children but others succeed in FFA and 4H.
