Cathy Stewart Cannon left us to be with her eternal family on June 17, 2011 after a long battle with cancer. Memorial service will be Monday, June 20, 2011 at 2:00 PM in the chapel of Kilpatrick Funeral Home West Monroe. She leaves behind a legacy of compassion, charity, and self sacrifice, and a lifetime of friends and family. Cathy was born and resided in Alva, Oklahoma area and graduated from Burlington High School before marrying and moving to West Monroe in 1980. In addition to the numerous volunteer and charitable organizations through the years, Cathy was also employed by Drennans' Pharmacy and was an avid Avon sales representative. What will be remembered most is Cathy's willingness to give tirelessly of herself to anyone in need – whether transporting patients to clinics and doctor appointments; assisting low-income families with necessities; or spending time with the disabled and elderly, simply opening her home and heart to those requiring help was her greatest joy. She was a member of the St. Vincent de Paul Volunteer Community Pharmacy and GO-CARE, as well as being associated with MADD and many other civic and church functions. Cathy truly lived to love others, and the lessons we learned from her examples will greatly outlast her short time on this Earth. Cathy was preceded in death by her parents, Jimmie and Ruth Stewart; brother, Teddy; niece, Trinity Stewart; nephew, Nathan Stewart; aunt and uncle, Dixie and Tiny Hammond. Cathy is survived by her loving husband, Rick, who steadfastly provided care and support throughout the duration of her illness; daughter, Erin Sego and husband Andrew of Memphis, TN; son, John Cannon of West Monroe; brother, Monte Stewart and wife Shelly of Amorita, OK; 3 special nephews, Logan, Tyson and Austin and countless other friends and “adopted in” members of the Cannon family. The Cannons extend their deepest gratitude to all those who have assisted us in the preceding months, as well as to the staffs of the Tulsa Cancer Center of America and Glenwood Hospital for their generosity and constant support, with special thanks to Ms. Linda Creed and Pat Hollenshead. Contributions and memorials may be made to the Kids Against Hunger of Northwest Oklahoma; kidsagainsthunger@sctelcom.net or Kids Against Hunger of Northwest Oklahoma, 114 A Loop Drive, P.O. Box 344, Cherokee, OK 73728. Visitation will be held Monday at 12:00 PM at Kilpatrick Funeral Home West Monroe.

What you said made a lot of sense. But, think about this, what if you added a little content? I mean, I dont want to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added something to maybe get peoples attention? Just like a video or a picture or two to get people excited about what youve got to say. In my opinion, it would make your blog come to life a little bit.

Hi Rick, Erin and John, i'm so sorry about Cathy. I have a lot of good memories of here as I know you all do. Just know i'm thinking of you all. :0 Love, Scott

I moved there in 1996 not 2006. ooops.

Cathy befriended me when I lived in Sterlington and worked in Monroe. I moved there in 2006 as a newlywed and knew NO ONE! We met when she was a patient of Dr. Head's and I worked at his clinic. We were fast friends! We shared meals, hours of conversations, fun shopping times and she was my financial power of attorney when my marriage "went south" and I needed someone to sign paperwork for the sale of our community property. So greatful for having had her in my life for even a short while. My love to Rick, Erin and John! Dear Cathy, enjoy your heavenly reunion! Love, Tina

So sorry to hear of Cathy's passing. She was such a sweet lady. I always enjoyed talking to her when she came into the store. while we know she is in a better place, she will be missed.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Monte and Shelly, So sorry to hear that Cathy finally lost her battle. She was such a sweetheart and we will miss her. You will be in my prayers.

The surrogate mother of the needy and unfortunate, as well as countless international students at Univ. Louisiana Monroe, who opened her family to those who couldn't go home over school breaks, providing food, laundry, shelter, and even sharing her family cell phone plan to starving college students like me, the definition of southern hospitality. You had the biggest heart, took everybody in, and there just wasn't anything you wouldn't do to give. You were everybody's mom. You will be dearly missed, mom. I hope to be like you.

Rick, may God's grace and love surround you and your family during this sad time. Walter and Sharon Jackson

I am so sorry for your loss. I new Cathy by the numerous times she came to the Nth 7th office to have her labs done. We had so many good conversations. She will be missed.

Rick, Erin and Jon, I am sorry for your loss and I know Cathy has gone to heaven to be with our Father. Our thoughts and prayers are with you today.

I lost a very dear, bright and positive friend in my life. She gave me so much love, support and understanding while I studied at ULM without asking for anything in return. I will always pray for her to be in peace, and she will always be remembered in my family as my guardian angel. Thank you Cathy.
