She was born to James George and Ruth Adair (Moyer) Nequette on May 11, 1957, in Buffalo, New York. Her warmth and generosity impacted everyone she met throughout her life.

Her interests, while simple, reflected her loving nature. Cathy was a friend to many and had a heart that knew no bounds in giving and sharing with others. Her friendly demeanor and innate ability to brighten any room were a testament to her character.

Cathy's memory is cherished by her brother, Michael Nequette and his wife, Cindy; her nephews, Bryan and Jordan Nequette; and her great-niece and nephew, Sophie and Calvin Nequette. She joins her predeceased parents in peace.

Cathy's life story is one of joy and kindness, a narrative woven through her everyday interactions. A generous and friendly soul, Cathy leaves behind a legacy of love and selflessness that will be treasured by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. She will be greatly missed but her spirit will continue to inspire us every day.
