TRAVERSE CITY - Cathy G. Keedy, 52, of Traverse City, died suddenly Monday, Oct. 3, 2005, at Munson Medical Center. Cathy was born in Oak Park on Jan. 8, 1953, the daughter of Harris and Geraldine (Ginsburg) Garrick.
She graduated from West Bloomfield High School in 1971 and attended Michigan State University. On March 1, 1975, she married James A. Keedy, her loving husband of 30 years, in the Newman Chapel at Wayne State University in Detroit.
Cathy worked for Great Lakes Bancorp for 15 years as a branch manager in Jackson, and for branches in Ann Arbor and Traverse City.

In the past she volunteered for the Cherryland Humane Society, the Volunteer Services Office of the Grand Traverse County Probate Court and Cedar Wildlife Rescue. She gave countless hours to rescuing and caring for animals in need and to loving her own dogs and cats.
Cathy will be remembered as a warm and generous woman who listened with her heart, making family and friends feel loved and well-cared for when they were in her company. Her vibrancy for life and her gift of giving will continue on through others thanks to her gift of organ donation through the Gift of Life Program.

Twenty-five nieces and nephews, whom she showered with love, gifts and insect lore, also survive.
