Catherine Josephine (Spry) Armstrong, 72, of Big Rapids passed peacefully in her sleep on November 11, 2019 after a lengthy illness. She was born on September 4, 1947 in Kansas City, Missouri to Charles (Bill) and Lillian Spry. In her early twenties, she moved to Michigan with her young family. After raising her two children and working various jobs she eventually retired from the Mecosta County Courthouse in 2009 after 22 years of service. Among her many joys she enjoyed bowling with her league girls, gardening, sewing, line dancing back in the day and especially spending time with her grandchildren which were the apples of her eye. She was a classy lady with a zeal for life and an infectious laugh. Her capacity for unconditional love was boundless. She will be greatly missed by those she left behind.
