Catherine was not just a daughter; she was a devoted wife, a nurturing mother, a beloved sister, and a treasured friend.

For 52 wonderful years, she was married to her loving husband, Carlton McKenzie Paker, Jr. Together, they built a life filled with joy, adventure, and unwavering support for each other. Catherine’s love for her family was boundless, and she raised three remarkable children, Jennifer Parker Jerome (Bob), Carlton McKenzie Parker, III (Christy), and Sarah Rebecca Morris (Randy). Each of them carries a piece of her spirit and wisdom in their hearts.

 Catherine’s legacy continues through her eight adoring grandchildren: Abigaile Drew, Rebecca Snipes, Damian Drew, Carlton Paker, IV, Trevor Parker, Kenneth Parker, and Callie Parker, Hailey Jerome, as well as her cherished great-grandson, Francis Snipes, Jr.

Her Laughter and love will echo in her memories of her loved ones for generations to come.

Catherine was a twin sister to Jackie Humes (Sam), and shared a deep bond with her brother, Keith   Brown (Sandra), and her baby sister, Jo-Anne Salter (Scott).  The love and support they provided each other throughout their lives were a testament to the strength of their family ties.

Known for her resilience. She was always there when her family needed her most, offering support, wisdom, and abundant love. Her laughter was infectious, and her warmth touched the lives of everyone she encountered. Catherine was a friend to many, cherished dearly for her kindness, strength, and unwavering spirit.
