Cathrine was a big OU football fan. She adored all animals especially her three cats and one dog and the family of turtles that she raised from babies. She loved to have a houseful of family and friends drop by her house and you would surely find her lounging in her recliner watching old television program reruns with a big yellow cat on her lap. Catherine always had a twinkle in her eye and a smile on her face.

Catherine is survived by her three daughters: Marie and husband Johnny Robbins of Perry, Ann and her husband Mike Umstead of Perry, Betty and her husband Les Berger of Perry; two sons: Vernon Malget of Perry and Lee and his wife Vickie Malget of Perry; two sisters: Georgia Frazier and Christine Murray; sixteen grandchildren, forty great-grandchildren and eight great-great-grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her husband; parents; two sisters: Mary Beatrice Melvin and Berniece Graham and a brother Louis Melvin; two granddaughters: Mary Kay and Linda Faye.

Memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude's Children Research Hospital in care of Trout Funeral Home of Perry, 1408 N. 7th Street, Perry, Ok. 73077.
