On January 28, 1967, Cathie married Bill Arrandale, and together they had two sons, John and Ted. Bill and Cathie made Grandview their home in 1968. Cathie worked several secretarial jobs, including serving as the Office Manager of ReDiscover Mental Health, where she worked for over 30 years. She was known for her great sense of humor and genuine kindness.

Cathie enjoyed reading, sewing, quilting, and rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs. In her earlier years, she was an avid Bridge player. Cathie took great delight in being a grandma, and she went to countless sporting events, band concerts, and gymnastic meets to watch her grandchildren.

Cathie was preceded in death by her father Harold, mother Mary, and sister Jane.
