She was born to Sarah Perry Cammack and James King Cammack at West Columbia, Texas March 7th, 1927. She married Charlie McKelroy on June 5th, 1945. Together they raised four children in Jones Creek, Texas until Charlie's death in 1963. She married Irvin Henry December 25th, 1969; they were married until his death in 1993.

Catherine was a life-long, active member of Gulf Prairie Presbyterian Church where she has served as Sunday School Superintendent, Women of the Church leader and sat in her usual spot nearly every Sunday until her health began to fail.
