Catherine was raised in the vibrant Pacific Beach community and graduated from Mission Bay High School in 1965. She furthered her education at Mesa College, where she served as president of her sorority and formed a lifelong friendship with her roommate, Victoria Fitzgerald.

Following their marriage, Catherine and William settled in Scripps Ranch, a suburb of San Diego, where they welcomed their daughter, Dianne Marie Fulton, in 1974. William's career with Pacific Southwest Airlines and Catherine's role as an airline reservation agent for USAir afforded their family the opportunity to travel extensively throughout the United States and abroad.

In 2004, Catherine and William relocated to St. George, Utah, seeking new adventures. They were joined by their daughter Dianne and grandson Wyatt in 2007, further strengthening their family bond.

Catherine possessed a generous spirit and a passion for sewing, a talent she used to create blankets and toys for children in need worldwide.
