Grace Ann Cather, beloved wife of William “Buddy” Cather, passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, February 9, 2014. Grace succumbed to pancreatic cancer after a long and courageous struggle.
Born in Havre De Grace, MD., on March 6, 1954, Grace lived her entire life in the Rising Sun area. Grace loved children and throughout her life she was devoted to those young people who were placed into her care. She loved and cared for her family and friends and was greatly loved in return by all. Grace brightened the day of all who knew her. Grace deeply missed her friends and co-workers at West Nottingham Play School and greatly appreciated their devotion and thoughtfulness during her illness. Grace fed and cared for all manner of wildlife around her home and although the feeders are now empty, they will overflow again.
The family would like to thank the staffs of Seasons Hospice, Regional Hematology & Oncology, VNA Home Health of Maryland and Dr. Joseph Weidner.
Grace is survived by her husband: Buddy, her sons, Bob and Will and Will’s wife, Ann and their daughters; Hailey and Makayla, all residing in Rising Sun.
