Catherine Ogden, lovingly known as Cathy, passed away on April 22, 2024, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She was born on April 20, 1958, in Mobile, Alabama. Cathy's presence in this world was marked by her unwavering dedication to her family and community.

Cathy's proudest accomplishments were rooted in the love she shared with her husband of 33 years, Jeff.

Facilitating the spiritual growth of her children and grandchildren within the Catholic faith brought Cathy profound joy and fulfillment.

Her commitment extended beyond her immediate family as she selflessly served at Rosary Catholic School and St. Francis of Assisi Parish. Whether it was as a teacher's aid or after-school care leader, Cathy's impact was deeply felt by those around her.

One of Cathy's many talents was her ability to create culinary delights, with her spaghetti and meatballs being a particular favorite among her loved ones. Her generous spirit shone through when she cooked over 1000 meatballs for a parish event. Cathy cherished the holidays, infusing them with joy and warmth for her family. Easter held a special place in her heart as she delighted in crafting handmade baskets for her children and grandchildren.

Family meant everything to Cathy, especially spending time with family and baking with her granddaughter Lulu. Her infectious laughter and great sense of humor brightened many days. Being a devoted Catholic, Cathy's compassionate nature and giving heart were evident in all aspects of her life.
