While at CTC, she was called by the Lord to provide Christian Television Programing for Central Texas.
She and other like-minded women founded KPLE-TV with a mission to reveal the love of Jesus Christ to every home in Central Texas. KPLE and Christian television were her passion for almost 30 years. Catherine never truly retired, but after slowing down, she enjoyed traveling, gardening, spending time with family, and helping the community any way she could.
Catherine passed way in 2022 leaving a legacy of love. In her own words, "God loves you, and He will help you if you just let Him."
