Catharyn Louise Howard was born on February 15th 1927 to Addie Bell Washington and Hammie Howard in Navasota, Texas.  She lived in Navasota until she graduated high school.  After she graduated, she married Ardell Stone in 1947 and lived in other places before settling in Wichita, Kansas. Her and Ardell Stone had one daughter they named Essie Victoria.  She had various jobs but her longest job was in domestic services.  She never drove and used public transportation and walked to places she needed to get to.  Family loving called her "Cat".  She might of been short in stature but don't let that fool you because she was not one to be messed with.  She was a lifelong Christian who loved the Lord.  Very independent, strong and resilient.  She had many ailments throughout life but that did not keep this "young" lady down.  Beautiful smile and nice legs to boot.  She departed this life on Friday, March 26, 2021 at the age of 94.  She leaves behind her daughter Essie, granddaughter Tremetrice (Metrice), and two great grandchildren Davontre and Janiyah whom she affectionately called her "sweet little angels" and a host of relatives.
