Cathy was born in Austin, Texas to the late George and Doris Rooney. Cathy and the Rooney family moved to Akron in 1945. She attended St. Sebastian, Our Lady of the Elms, and graduated from Kent State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1965. Cathy worked as the director of volunteers for the American Red Cross, Summit County Chapter, for over 13 years before relocating to Southern California in 1988. Cathy returned to Akron in the early 2000’s to spend time with and care for her parents. She was a devoted Catholic and was an active member of the Parish of St. Hilary in Akron, and the Parish of Sacred Heart in San Diego while she lived there.
