Aldrich, Catherine Madeline-of Montrose, age 90, passed away Sunday, December 11, 2022. Catherine was born June 24, 1932, to Priscilla (Reamer) and George Indlekofer and after her father’s untimely death, was raised by Priscilla and Cornelius (Neal) Indlekofer.
Catherine owned Aldrich TV in downtown Montrose for 40 years with her late husband of 69 years, Richard Aldrich Sr. She was a fixture in the Montrose community and she was loved by all that knew her. Catherine was always the caretaker, often looking after friends and neighbors by helping with rides to appointments, bringing them groceries, or offering conversation and companionship over donuts and a cup of coffee. Helping others with empathy was her greatest strength and gift.
Surviving are her children, Karen and Lee Schoonover, and Richard Aldrich Jr. along with her grandchildren, Travis and Renate Phelps, Amber Roberts, Matthew Schoonover, and Megan and Geoff Childs. Catherine also had twelve great-grandchildren whom she adored and doted on whenever possible. They will never forget the camping trips, spending time on go-carts and the Spree scooter on the acreage behind the house, picnics, baking Christmas cookies, kindness and laughter often over a game of Yahtzee, her warmth, togetherness, and grandma always asking if they wanted anything to eat and not giving up until one of the grandchildren finally accepted.
Catherine is preceded in death by her husband Richard Aldrich Sr., her parents Priscilla Indlekofer, George Indlekofer, Neal Indlekofer, and Ann Indlekofer, her brother George Indlekofer Jr, her grandson, Shane Aldrich, her granddaughter, Shanna Phelps, along with many other dear friends and family members and her well-loved fur babies who we know will be delighted to see her again.
A Celebration of Life will be held for Richard and Catherine at a later date. |
