Born on April 20, 1947, in Wabash, Indiana, Cathy was the daughter of Charles and Bernice Cox.

She delighted in watching birds, especially hummingbirds, and capturing the world’s beauty through her photography. A lifelong animal lover, Cathy held a very fond affection for cats, who brought her endless comfort and companionship.

She is survived by her sons, Anthony Hamilton of Pantego, Texas, and Nathan Hamilton of Newburgh, Indiana, and her six precious grandchildren, Derek (Kassidy) Hamilton and their daughter Kennedy of Grand Junction, Colorado; Sarah Hamilton of Granbury, Texas; Grant, Emma, Eva, and Katie Hamilton of Evansville, Indiana.

A Celebration of Life will be held in the coming months, where friends and family will gather to honor Cathy’s gentle strength, unwavering love, and the serene joy she shared with all who knew her.
