Catherine G Allhands

My prayers are with you and your family.

I am sending my prayers to the family and friends, coworkers of Cathy. She was an awesome lady (sure you knew that) and she always had a smile on her face when I seen her. I will miss that! C. Lawton (GEF1)

I worked with Cathy at DWD, and sat next to her cubicle when she was first diagnosed with cancer. Being a survivor myself, we shared some courage...and some fear...but Cathy was always hopeful! Over the cubicle wall, day after day, I would hear her talking to her customers, and nearly every conversation ended with her saying, "hey, have a great day!" So our work unit bought her a Life is Good tshirt to wear as a reminder of our care as she went through treatment; the shirt said " Greatful Day - Life is Good." She told me how much she loved that shirt, but not as much as we all loved her and will miss her laughter.

I worked with Cathy in the Plumbing Section in 1978 when I first started with the State. The part about her "Halloween costumes being comical, colorful and magical" brought back a great memory. My first Halloween with the State, she dressed up as Pinocchio, and actually played the part of a puppet to perfection! I'm sure past Plumbing Section folks will remember that Halloween! For lunch, we would sometimes take her convertible GTO to Stevens for cheese curds. Cathy was soooo much fun. She had an infectious laugh and I'm glad that I knew this wonderful gal.

Hi my name is Gail Vandersteen I work at Seaway printing in Green Bay I had the extreme pleasure of working with Cathy Allhands and I enjoyed every moment of it. I will miss her so much. Even though I have never met her face to face, it feels like I have known her all of my life. Every time I light a candle I will think of Cathy, she was great. When she would call with a question no matter what the situation may have been it always turned into great fun and a tons of laughs. It was great to know such a wonderful person with a great outlook on life. I am sure there will be angels watching over her in heaven. friends and memories always and forever Gail Vandersteen
