Catherine Stephens, May 11, 1951, to September 4, 2021, of Ellabell, Georgia. Born in Memphis, Tennessee, raised in Winfield, Missouri.
When Cathy walked into the room you knew she was there. She was funny, sometimes sassy, but always full of love. She was an amazing wife, mother and grandmother. She cherished every moment spent with her family. She worked at Fort Howard for over 12 years. She enjoyed camping, gardening, food preservation, she loved having craft night with the girls. She started a school page in her hometown to reconnect with her classmates and old friends. She will be missed by so many.
She has been married to Joseph “Danny” Stephens for 25 years.
Cathy is survived by her mother, Bernice Abernathy; her sisters, Teresa Longstreath and Beverly Wright; her brothers, Ed Abernathy and Harold Abernathy; children: Angela (Tim) Merchant, Jerry Ireland, and Eric (Amanda) Ireland; eight grandchildren, Marissa McGillis, Dillon Ireland, Taylor Merchant, Stephen Stokes, Cortney Wall, Justin Wilkinson, Ashlyn Lockard, and Samantha McGillis.
Cathy wanted no funeral. Her final wishes were to be cremated.
A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, September 18, 2021 at 2:00 PM in the New Hope Christian Church, 2550 Courthouse Road, Guyton.
