MARSTON — Mrs. Cathy Stroman Simmons, 67, of Marston, passed away Monday, March 7, 2022 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
She was born March 15, 1954 in Marston to Mrs. Nora Morrison Stroman and the late James Lee Stroman.
Cathy received her early education in the Richmond County School System. She worked as a teacher’s assistant for the Richmond County School System and retired from the Moore County School System in June 2016. Cathy also worked for JP Stevens in Moore County. Cathy has been a faithful and active member of Marston First Baptist Church until her health failed her. She loved being an usher and member of the church choir.
