, 2011. Catherine remained at Elm Crest until her short stay at the Myrtue Harlan Hospital. Under hospice care, she passed away peacefully on September 6, 2018, attaining the age of ninety eight years, seven months and thirteen days.
Catherine was a kind, thoughtful and gentle soul. During her later life, many people who worked with her would refer to her as a "Sweet Lady". She had a good sense of humor and loved to laugh. Her mantra was that it's one's responsibility to make the world a better place. That was the way she tried to live her life.
Her memory will be treasured by those who survive her, including her daughter, Cheryll Polley and her husband Brownnie Polley of Carlisle, Iowa, daughter-in-law Roxanne Linde of Harlan, three stepchildren: Bonnie and her husband Robert Myers of Shelby, Loraine and her husband Kenny Towne of Hancock, and Ilene and her husband Verne Nelson of Harlan. She is also survived by her grandchildren: Nathan Linde and his wife Erin, Jason Linde and his wife Susan, Tyler Polley, Bethany (Garrett Polley's wife) and five grandchildren: Madison Polley, Catherine Polley, William Polley, Olivia Linde, Ryan Linde and sister-in-law, Docia Linde of Harlan, brother-in-law, Samuel Walker of Santa Rosa, CA.
