Mrs. Catherine Hart

Catherine Wright Hart, age 90, of Toccoa, passed away peacefully to join her Lord and Savior while surrounded by family at Northeast Georgia Medical center on February 5, 2023.

Born January 23, 1933, in Toccoa, GA, she was the daughter of the late Charlie and Hester Bowden Wright.  She was of the Baptist Faith.  She worked at Lyman Matherson Company for many years and retired from Master Furniture.  Catherine was a very strong willed woman.   She was the last surviving member of her immediate family.  She was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother and was a compassionate friend.  She always had a spark of life within her, and she had a great sense of humor.  She could make anyone in the room erupt in laughter. She was a kind, generous, and very protective and supportive woman.  She was a mentor and teacher to those she cherished most.  Catherine was the one that you go to when you need cheering up or when you wanted to listen to a little country music.  She would always be there to lend a listening ear and to put a smile on your face.  She truly was an inspiration to so many people.  Her legacy and the memories we all shared with her will live on within us for a lifetime.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Charlie and Hester Bowden Wright; sisters, May Sertain, Grace Cleveland, and Mozelle Hart; brother, Charles Wright; husband, James Stewart Hart; daughter, Brenda Hart O’Kelley; and her son Randy James Hart.

She is survived by her daughter, Peggy Hart Thompson of Toccoa; her son Jimmy Hart of Toccoa; granddaughters, Kendra and Doug Pruitt of Suches, GA, Shae and Chasten Parker of Toccoa, GA, and Jamie and Matthew Mize of Anchorage, Alaska; grandsons, Joseph Hart of Hartwell, GA and Thomas Thompson of Toccoa, GA; great-granddaughters, Madison Pruitt and Ava Pruitt both of Suches, GA; great-grandson, Haiden Parker of Toccoa; her favorite nieces, June Hart Bumgardner and Janie Hart Atkins both of Toccoa.
