CATHRYN CARTER, (Cathi), 61, left this life on February 2, 2004 and returned to the loving arms of her Heavenly Father after a short, intense battle with cancer.

Cathi was born on April 8, 1942 to Glen and Maurine Erickson. She attended local schools and was a drum majorette at Logan High School and USU. She worked many capacities in her life, including being a mortgage loan officer and various other banking positions. She also served in many positions of public service, which included being a deputy sheriff for Cache County.

Cathi married James Leishman on November 3, 1961, and from this union 2 sons were born; James (Scott) Leishman and Edwin (Kelly) Leishman. They were later divorced. Cathi married Darius Carter on April 25, 1984 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Cathi really enjoyed life and enjoyed herself with family and friends. She loved her kids and in many cases had more kids than she really knew. Her son’s friends know what that means.

Cathi had a great love for animals and always had dogs, cats, or horses, and loved them more than anything else in the world. She will be greatly missed by those around her, but will always have great memories of her and times we shared.

She is survived by her husband Darius Carter; 2 sons James Scott (Becky) Leishman of Nibley, and Edwin Kelly (Cheri) Leishman, and her four step children, Wendy, Sherm, Travis, Chet Carter and their spouses. Her mother, Maurine Erickson; brother, William (Bill) Erickson. 3 grandchildren, Stephanie, Michael, and Katherine Nicole Leishman, and several step-grandchildren. She is also preceded in death by her father, Glenn Erickson.

The family would like to thank Dr. Jeffrey Strong, M.D. and Logan Fire and Ambulance for all they did on the part of Cathryn.

Funeral services will be Friday, February 6, 2004, at 12:00 PM at the Allen-Hall Mortuary, 34 East Center Street, Logan, Utah with a viewing 1 hour prior to the service. Interment will be at the Logan Cemetery.
