Catherine Elizabeth Wadkins 1937-2024

Catherine Elizabeth Wadkins, 87, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Sunday, Oct. 13, 2024. 

She was preceded in death by her husband, Ed Wadkins, in 2018; her sister, Mary Horton; and her brothers, Larry, Dee and David Magness. Catherine is survived by her son, Charles Lewis; her grandchildren, Chris Lewis and Jessica Schroder; her great-grandson; and her sister, Barbara Wilson. 

Catherine was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. She was a fierce competitor in all games, loved to travel and was a proud member of the Red Hat Society. Above all, she will be remembered for her quirky nature, friendly spirit and for never having met a stranger. 

A memorial service is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 26, at 1 p.m. at the First Baptist Church in Quitman, followed by a reception in the Fellowship Hall.
