Catherine (Cathy) Marie Black's Obituary
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Catherine (Cathy) Marie Black on March 7, 2024, from Heber City, Utah. With feet planted firmly on the Word of God and His promises, Cathy's legacy is one of devotion to her family, unwavering faith in Jesus, and a life filled with joy and kindness.
Born January 1, 1959 in Rawlins, Wyoming, Cathy lived in multiple cities throughout the state. She later moved to Casper, where she graduated from Natrona County High School in 1977. Cathy married Lee Black on October 22, 1983 and moved to Billings, Montana where they welcomed their children Jeremy and Katelynn. The family relocated to Murray, UT in 2001 and would later settle in Heber City.
Cathy found strength in her love for Jesus and enjoyed listening to songs from the Bill Gaither Vocal Band. An avid reader, she read countless books, studied multiple devotionals, and dived deep into studies of the Bible. Cathy's culinary skills brought warmth and comfort to family gatherings. Her love for her grandchildren knew no bounds; each moment spent with them was a precious treasure.
Cathy is survived by her husband, Willard “Lee” Black; children Jeremy Lee Black (Joanna) and Katelynn Marie Quintero (Arturo) Grandchildren: Elizabeth, Emma, Daniel Black; Ariana, Luca, Nico Quintero; Mother, Darlene Rhodes (Casper,WY); her siblings, Barbara Gale (Casper, WY), Beverly Blackwell (Beecher Town, Jamaica), Tanya Louks (Edmond, OK), Leona Bartsch (Maryland), Sheila Pigott (Tampa, FL), and Nathan Rhodes (Denison, TX); and many beloved nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, Milo Rhodes, and two infant brothers, Milo Darren and Michael Dean, and a dear sister in Christ, Pat Joseph.
A celebration of Cathy's life will be held Saturday, April 6th at 1:00pm, at South Mountain Community Church located at 14216 S Bangerter Parkway, Draper, Utah.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Outreach Jamaica (https://outreachjamaica.org), an organization that reflects her compassionate spirit and love for children and ministry operated by her sister Bev.
