Obituary: Catharine L. Taylor, 64, Belmont


BELMONT – Catherine L. Taylor, 64, passed away peacefully Thursday (April 27, 2017) at Olean General Hospital. Mrs. Taylor was born on Aug. 31, 1952 in Cuba to Herbert and Marlyn (Sharp) Taylor. Catherine worked for Friendship Dairy for 30 years until her retirement in 2008.
Cathy is survived by her long time companion, Ronald Langdon of Belmont; one son, Paul W. Cleveland of Belmont; one daughter, Beth A.

In addition to her parents, she was predeceased by two sisters, Jeanette Morgan and Renee Thompson; and one brother, Herbert Keith Taylor.
Cathy lived a simple life centered around her family. She cherished the times spent with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren and looked forward to the next Christmas, Thanksgiving, birthday or cookout where they would all gather at her house for a time of making memories. Whether it was to celebrate a newborn in the family or some other important milestone in the life of her grandchildren, she was always there to help celebrate the day.
Cathy loved animals. Over the years, she provided a loving home to Max and Rebel, her two cats, Harley, her Jack Russell and Hunter, her Golden Retriever. For her personal relaxation, she liked working in her flower garden where she was proud of her tulips, irises and lilacs.
