Catherine A. Mason

“Taddie”

In the presence of her family, Catherine Mason left her temporary home to dwell in the Home of her Beloved Heavenly Father, Forevermore. Catherine was born May 17, 1917, a daughter of the late Miller and Suvilla Whippo.
She raised her family in Rochester, Pa., and moved to Albion during her retirement years. The top priorities in Catherine's life were spiritual. She was a godly woman and all who knew her felt her impact on their lives. She honored God in all her hobbies and activities. She was an avid reader (owning around 600 books), her Bible first, and then Christian fiction. She loved board games, especially scrabble, and jigsaw puzzles. She and her husband loved fishing and indulged at every opportunity. They even did some wild game hunting together. She enjoyed gardening, and music, playing her accordion, a small organ, and piano. Catherine was very active in church. She was Sunday School Teacher for many years, Junior Church Director, Bible School Director, and also sang duets with her husband. She was also very active in her community, being Scout Leader, school crossing guard for Adam St. Ext. School in Rochester, and held neighborhood Bible School with snacks in her home.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Charles Mason, whom she married May 12, 1936, a daughter, Nila White, two sisters, Emma Louise Whippo and Ruth Abbott, two brothers, Boyde and Thomas Whippo. She is survived by one daughter, Martha Alexander and her husband, Donald, of Albion, one son, Charles Mason and his wife, Coleen, of Conneautville, and one brother, Clair Whippo and his wife, Bernie, of Corry. Also surviving are many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.

We are so sorry we are unable to attend the homecoming of Aunt Catherine. Our prayers and sympathy are for her family. We know them as wonderful Christian examples, as she and Uncle Chuck were. Love in Christ, Chuck and Flo McCurdy (Masury, OH)).
