Born in Rochester on June 27, 1918, Catherine was the daughter of Estel and Glennie Bemenderfer. Growing up she shared her childhood with a sister Marguerite and two brothers, Frederick and Ned. She was a lifetime resident of Rochester with exception to the last two years, as she moved to Berkshire Assisted Living near Indianapolis to be closer to her family. She was a loyal member of Grace United Methodist Church for more than 75 years. Catherine was a devoted volunteer, serving Woodlawn Hospital as a Grey Lady. She was a member of the Eastern Star. A favorite hobby was playing bridge for years with her friends.
