Mom had the nickname of “Hugs and Kisses” at Covenant Woods where she lived because anyone that needed a hug or a shoulder to cry on knew they could go to her and she would give them a hug and listen to their problems. She loved all people the same. One friend of mom’s said that Mom taught her how to be kind to people. Mom was a very patient person, very kind and loving.
My mother was not perfect, she had a hard life. She grew up without a father, he died before 1930, very little money and did not have much education. She was raised by her grandmother until her grandmothers' death from Malaria. She could not hear much even with her hearing aids. She was almost deaf her whole life. So, she spoke without pronouncing words correctly. But she could read lips perfectly. She loved collecting rocks of all kinds and was always looking around in the dirt. She enjoyed gardening, fishing with my father, and all sorts of crafts. She also loved collecting books and reading. She was not among the social elite, but she was loved by many and loved by me.
I appreciate everyone that was able to come to her visitation, funeral and graveside service. I appreciate the cards, flowers, and plants that were sent. I appreciate the food that was prepared and sent over. I appreciate the good wishes and thoughts for mom. I thank you all on her behalf, my sisters and me.
I miss her a lot and I hope I get to see her again one day.
Catherine was proceeded in death by her father, Henry Cunningham, her mother, Ethel Rackley, and her husband, Louis Youngblood.
She is survived by her four daughters, eight grandchildren; six great-grandchildren and six great-great-grandchildren. Several nieces, nephews, cousins, and other family members.
LOVING MEMORIES OF MOM
Your gentle face and patient smile
With sadness we recall
You had a kindly word for each
And died beloved by all.
The voice is mute and stills the heart,
That loved us well and true,
Ah, bitter was the trial to part
From one so good as you.
You are not forgotten loved one,
Nor will you ever be,
As long as life and memory last
We will remember thee.
We miss you now our hearts are sore,
As times go by, we miss you more,
Your loving smile, your gentle face,
No one can fill your vacant place.
~~~~~~
During this time of sorrow, we learn how
much our family and friends mean to us.
Thank you so much for your kindness and
sympathy at a time when it was much
needed and appreciated.
