Recent Obituary: Catherine (Cathy) Marie Payne

Catherine (Cathy) Marie Payne of Ann Arbor, formerly of Chelsea and Green Valley, AZ, age 95, died Tuesday, June 22, 2021 at Brookdale Senior Living in Ann Arbor.

She was born Dec. 18, 1925 in Detroit, the daughter of Stephen Edward James and Ethel Sarah (Shaw) Rondon. She worked for Leo Burnett Advertising Company from March 1, 1954 to December 30, 1988 in the accounting (Petty Cash) department.

Catherine was a member of the Kiwanis Club in Chelsea, where she was a George F. Hixson Fellow. Two of her favorite things to do were to golf and travel with her friends.

You may even have seen our Aunt Catherine on the back of a Harley Motorcycle driven by her nephew along with her niece right behind them on her Harley. She would be picked up at her home in Chelsea for a fun filled day of site seeing and traveling the open roads. To end their day, they would stop for a relaxing meal.

Burial will take place at Holy Sepulchre Cemetery in Southfield.
