Cathy was born April 4, 1950 in Keokuk, IA the daughter of John (Jack) and Elsie Weirather. On December 27, 1965, she married Paul Meyers, they recently celebrated their 54th wedding anniversary.
Cathy was a dedicated mother first and foremost. She treasured her children and embraced every moment with them. She especially loved her role as Grandma. Cathy’s love for her grandchildren was a love without condition. They could count on her to listen, to comfort, to help. She enjoyed watching them grow and rarely missed any of their activities, often traveling from Florida to special events and streaming live on the internet to watch. She was their biggest fan. Cathy had a special connection with each one of them and treasured her time alone when they would travel to Florida for visits. She was also “Grandma” to many of their friends. Cathy was the life of the party and her vivacious personality would always make people laugh. She made friends everywhere she went.
