Catherine was born in Albuquerque, NM on February 6, 1949 to George W. and Helen Major. She married William A. Prewitt Sr. on November 4, 1967. She worked for and retired from the Texas Department of Health and Human Services. After her retirement she enjoyed travelling, and spending time with her family. In 2018 she visited the Grand Canyon with her husband and son, and in 2019 she realized her dream of visiting Alaska with her daughter. She was a veracious reader, and enjoyed sewing and crochet. She made her grandson a baby blanket, and performed many touch-ups to her granddaughter’s beloved stuffed animal. Catherine had a love for animals, and enjoyed collecting figurines of her favorite animal, elephants. Catherine was a very good friend to those who had the privilege of knowing her and she will be missed by so many.

She is survived by her husband, William Prewitt, Sr., son William Prewitt Jr., daughter Helen Prewitt, and son-in-law Roland Cantu, in addition to her grandchildren, Emily and Gabriel Cantu.
