Catherine L "Cay" Hopkins 


  Catherine L "Cay" Hopkins passed away April 19, 2004. Catherine was a wife, mother
ad the last of the great American volunteers. Cay was born Feb 10, 1925, in Denver,
Colo, to the late Harry and Carrie Howland. At an early age, she learned the joy of
giving of oneself and the responsibilities of being a leader. In December of 1946
Cay joined for life with her life partner, William G Hopkins. Catherine truly
enjoyed her role as a wife and strived for 58 years to be a partner who supported
and completed the circle of love that binds two people into a couple. In 1951, Cay
began a second, and in the opinion of her children, greater role as mother. Cay's
mothering nature not only included her three children, but a wide age range of
children who knew her as "Grandma Cay." 

    Cay and William served as missionaries in Central America. No job was too small
for Cay. She always was available with a smile and a hug when needed. Cay was a true
believer in Pueblo. Her contribution to such organizations as the Y M C A, Pueblo
Symphony, Rosemount Museum and the Sangre de Crisco Arts Center, illustrates her
love of her city and her conviction that life should be exposed to and enhanced
spiritually,culturally and physically. 

    Cay was a member of the First Methodist Church, where she gave generously of her
time and talents. It was her belief that all matters could be solved by having a
personal relationship with God. 

  Cay is survived by her husband, William G Hopkins: daughters, Gayle (Steve Lamy)
Hopkins, Los Angeles, Calif; Sharon White. Chester, SC; Greg (Cindy) Hopkins,
Denver, three grandchildren, Rachel White, Conner and Brenna Hopkins; and two
granddogs. 

    Memorial service will be held at 10:00am, Saturday, April 24, 2004 at First
United Methodist Church, 11th and Court, wit the Rev Rick Calhoun officiating, In
lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that families come together for a night of
togetherness and conversation, Memorials may be made to the Y M C A or the First
United Methodist Church, c/o the funeral home. On line condolences,
