Cathy graduated high school from Winston Churchill High in Potomac, MD and received her Bachelor’s Degree from Bentley University in Massachusetts. She worked for Bank of America for over 18 years and was an SVP with many awards to her name. Cathy was the glue that held people together, she loved dancing and hosting parties, she knew all the new restaurants and made it a point to visit them frequently and was an adventurous eater. She was well travelled and made frequent trips to France and Cambodia to see her family; she spoke several languages very well including French. She was beautiful inside and out and was a courageous fighter that let nothing stand between her and her friends and family. Her wishes were that she be cremated and her ashes spread in Cambodia, her homeland.
