Cathy Ann Price Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Cathy Ann Price 1952 - 2017 Cathy Ann Price, 65, of Napa, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Friday, August 18, 2017 following a lengthy illness. Born March 12, 1952, in Sacramento, she was the daughter of Robert Edward and Anne Marie Schull Gay. She grew up in Sacramento and attended local schools until her marriage to Francis Price, Jr. on Oct. 15, 1971. Cathy was a devoted wife to Francis who was then serving in the U.S. Air Force. The couple had two sons Gregory and Anthony, traveled abroad, and was stationed for a time in Germany. Cathy made Napa her home for more than 17 years where she was a member of New Life Tabernacle and served as a food service technician in the cafeteria of the California Veterans Home in Yountville for12 years. She enjoyed growing flowers in her garden and of special interest were any blooms of purple or fragrances that would bring her beloved hummingbirds! She was a loving mother and grandmotherespecially close to grandson Ayden with whom she lived and who affectionately called her "Mamaw!" Cathys sons remember with great pride their mothers strength and determination as a single mom in the 1980s and doubt that anybody to date has quite mastered her double-battered, perfectly seasoned recipe for what they swear was the best fried chicken ever. Cathy was preceded in death by her father Robert Gay, infant daughter Carry (Anthonys twin sister), her beloved stepfather Lewis Nicholson, and stepsister Carolyn Cobb. She is survived by her mother Anne Nicholson of Napa; two sons: SGT Gregory Price, U.S. Army Ret., his wife Michelle, and children Prestyn, Christyn, Jaedon, and Olivia; and Anthony Price, his wife Blossom, and children Piah, Katarina, and Ayden; and by stepbrother Tim Nicholson. A celebration of Cathys life will be held 2:00 p.m. Friday, Aug. 25, at New Life Tabernacle, 2625 First Street in Napa with Pastor Timothy Bledsoe officiating. The family will receive friends from 12:00 noon until the time of the service. Committal will be in Tulocay Cemetery, Napa. The family asks that memorials be made to the American Cancer Society. Treadway & Wigger Funeral Chapel is serving the family.
