When the Howard Family moved to Colorado Cathy joined them.  After taking the job of Concierge at Howard Air she met Jon who was hired to handle baggage with intentions to advance with the company as a pilot.  They were married at the Beaver Creek Chapel on November 23, 1990. Jon's career led them to Aspen Aviation and Cathy to the Marriott in Snowmass, CO.  Cathy soon became ill and in need of a liver transplant.  The couple relocated to Houston.  After a successful transplant in 1993 they settled in Hitchcock, TX. The couple opened P Factor Aviation on Galveston Island where Jon gave flying lessons and Cathy booked the flights and ground school.  After Jon's death on October 15, 2006 Cathy returned back to Houston to live with her mother, Cathryn Howard in the family home.  In 2015 Cathy and Cathryn moved to their shared forever home in Spring TX.  Even in her declining health she took pleasure in driving her mother and roommate crazy by watching endless hours of home renovation and Hallmark shows.
