Catherine "Cathy" Ward Therrell

July 24, 1957 — June 7, 2025

Concord

Mrs. Catherine “Cathy” Ward Therrell, age 67, of Concord, North Carolina, passed away peacefully on Saturday, June 7th, after a courageous battle with cancer.

Born to the late Hicks and Dot Ward, Cathy was a devoted daughter, wife, mother, sister, and grandmother. She was the beloved wife of Charles Therrell, with whom she shared many joyful years.

Throughout Cathy’s career, she poured her heart into caring for others, particularly the most vulnerable. In retirement, she found joy in her grandchildren, her garden, and in selflessly serving those around her-always offering her time, love, and strength.

She is survived by her children: Emily Byers, Jill Beaver and husband Brent, and Sarah Riska and husband Brandon; her cherished grandchildren: Javi Murdock, Jacob Beaver, Kaitlyn Beaver, and Holden Grace Riska; her sister, Jean Fletcher and husband Robert; and her brother, Steve Ward and wife Carol. Cathy’s warmth, wisdom, and unwavering devotion to her family will be remembered always.

A celebration of Cathy’s life will be held at McGill Baptist Church in Concord, North Carolina, on Wednesday, June 11th, 2025 at 1pm.

Hartsell Funeral Home of Concord is serving the Therrell family.
