Catherine Juanita (Russell) Riesselman, 68, of Germantown, TN, passed away January 22, 2017 after a short battle with Pancreatic Cancer.

Funeral services will be held graveside at 11am Monday January 30th at Northridge Woodhaven Funeral Home.

Catherine was born November 20,1948, in Los Angeles, CA. Catherine is preceded in death by her parents, Catherine and Carl, her two brothers, James (Jim) and Robert (Bob) and a sister Loura Russell. Catherine was a loving, hardworking mother to her three children. She worked hard most of her life, sometimes 2 and 3 jobs at once to support her children. She retired from Aluma-Form, Inc. 10 yrs ago and made it a priority to enjoy life to the fullest. Her green eyes, her smile, her squeaky voice and her ever so perfectly hair-sprayed blonde hair will never be forgotten. She loved her family gatherings, her friends and making the best of all times, good and bad. Many know her as "Cat", the classy woman that would challenge all to a game of pool, and of course, win.

Catherine is survived by children Toscha (Michael ) Brady, Timothy (April) Michelotti, and Michael Riesselman , her seven grandchildren Taylor, Daly, Madeline and Brae Michelotti, Kelci Pearce, Elizabeth and Anna Brady.
