Rosalind Ave Cathcart, affectionately known as Roz, peacefully departed from this world on
April 23, 2025, at the age of 76, surrounded by her beloved family in Angels Camp, CA. Born
on May 6, 1948, in Sonora, CA, Roz was a woman of strength, independence, and love, who
touched the lives of many around her.

Roz's early years were spent in the picturesque Camp Nine, where her father oversaw the
PG&E power house. Those formative days were sprinkled with cherished memories of
spending time with her Nana in Jamestown, fostering a deep sense of family that she carried
throughout her life. A proud alumna of Bret Harte High School, she was crowned Homecoming
Queen in 1965, and graduated the following spring of 1966. She furthered her education at
Columbia College, earning an Associate's Degree in 1968.

On September 19, 1970, Roz married Richard Cathcart, her loving partner for over five
decades, and together they built a beautiful family. Roz's heart swelled with pride for her
daughters, Kellie and Kristie, and even more so for her adored grandchildren, William, Gradie
and Kendall. They were her greatest joys, and she cherished every moment spent with them.
Roz was a woman of many passions, including her beloved home garden, kayaking in our
beautiful mountain lakes, and of course golf, which she embraced in 1996 with the opening of
Greenhorn Creek golf course. Her community spirit was evident through her participation in her
early years in St. Patrick's Catholic Church Altar Society, Angelus Ranus 4-H, and later the
Greenhorn Creek Ladies Club. She was a behind-the-scenes supporter of Bret Harte High
School athletics as the partner of a teacher/coach/athletic director. Whether it was late night
film exchanges, keeping stats, preparing team dinners or hospitality rooms, manning snack bars
or the admission gate, Roz's commitment was unwavering.

Those who knew Roz would describe her as strong-willed and fiercely independent, yet
immensely loyal and loving. Her friendships were treasured, and her family was the center of
her universe. Her legacy is one of kindness, resilience, and life lived with purpose and grace.

Preceded in death by her parents Oliver "Garce" and Margaret "Ave" Garcia, Roz leaves behind
a family that will forever hold her in their hearts: her devoted husband, Richard, her daughters
Kellie (Eric) Peters and Kristie Cathcart, her grandchildren William and Kendall Taylor and
Gradie Wright, and her sister, Valerie Anderson.

We invite all who knew and loved Roz to join us in a Celebration of Life on Saturday, May 10,
2025, 11am-1pm, at 937 Goldcliff Road, Angels Camp, CA. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly
requests donations be made to Adventist Health Sonora Cancer Center and Adventist Health
Sonora Hospice.
