Cathy Coolidge, deceased, Easter Day, 2003.

She was in poor health for a couple of years, stroke, and hip replacement surgery. We've been divorced since 1993. Mother of Robin, our daughter born 1969, died 1976 of cystic fibrosis. Molly was born 1970 now living in a group home in Chapel Hill, working at a vocational center. Angie we adopted in 1978, now living in Raleigh with her family, working at CISCO.

Cathy taught school in Washington, D.C. after moving to North Carolina and losing her daughter; she went back to UNC and received her MSW in 1979. She worked as a counselor until her death, with offices in Chapel Hill and Chatham County.

Remembrances

Cathy always had a bright, broad and contagious smile and friendly manner. She made you feel welcome whenever you visited--it was always great to visit Cathy & Bill. Like many of us, she had problems with Spanish and began with a clearly gringo accent. She took great care to say her name in Spanish, a slowly articulated Cat-a-li-na! Catalina always brought much energy and resolve to whatever she would do. Both the Coolidges were missed when they left Bolivia.
