Smith; Loving Mother of Melissa (Mike) Steurer, Tim Smith and Robert (Diana) Smith; Proud Grandmother of Chase, Ava, Brooke, Abigail and Memphis; Dear Sister of Jennifer Evers, James Mullins, Steve Nadolny, Stephanie Stevens, Mark Nadolny and Mike Nadolny. Also left to cherish her memory, her Step Mother, Carol Mullins; Step Father, Steve Nadolny and the many friends that she made in the community during the years she delivered newspapers. Early in the morning hours before the birds got up, before the stars were tucked in bed, before her morning cup. She understood the ritual of rubber bands and ink stained hands and delivery mile by mile, you received the news at best and she received your smile. Cathryn had the noble attribute of loving and caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. Yet her heart was most tender for her beloved grandchildren, loving, caring and enjoying time with them. A Celebration of Life will be held for Cathryn L. Smith on Sunday, October 16, 2016 at Lakewood Prairie Clubhouse located at 1200 Barberry Way, Joliet from 1:00 to 5:00 PM.
