Catherine Viola was born on May 2, 1943, in Independence, Iowa, and she was the daughter of Harry and Wilma (Brown) Blosch. Cathy grew up in Steamboat Rock and graduated from high school with the class of 1961. She went on to attend Iowa Beauty School. After meeting the love of her life, Larry D. Sease, they were united in marriage on Feb. 15, 1963, and made their home in Des Moines before moving to Marshalltown. Cathy worked hard at home as a dedicated wife and mother and taking care of her family was her greatest joy. She also worked outside the home for a time at McDonald’s and then as head housekeeper at AmericInn. Faith was very important to Cathy and she was a member of Our Savior Lutheran Church. In her free time, she enjoyed crocheting, especially blankets for the family, playing Dominos and doing word searches. Cathy was feisty, outgoing and could talk to anyone. She will be deeply missed by all those who knew her.

Left to cherish her memory is her beloved husband of 58 years, Larry; her three sons: Bradley J. Sease of Marshalltown, David D. Sease of Marshalltown and Gary A. (Michelle) Sease of Newton; grandchildren: Danielle Sease Lawless, Justin Sease, Luke Sease, Roxann Sease, Ahnel Sease, James Sease, April Sease, Sophia Sease, Brida Sease, Cadia Sease, Honey Sease, Jeremy Beason and David Beason; several great-grandchildren; her brother, George “Butch” (Ruth) Blosch and several nieces and nephews.

In death, she is reunited with her parents, Harry and Wilma; her brother, Harry Blosch and his wife, Wilma; her sister, Nancy Blosch Mitchell and her husband, Larry and her birth-mother, Martha Louise DuBois.
