Cathern "Cat" Harding | Eastern North Carolina Now

January 05, 1947 - March 27, 2020
    Mrs. Cathern "Cat" Ruth Harding passed away on Friday, March 27, 2020, at Vidant Medical Center in Greenville. She was born on January 5, 1949 to parents Gladys Chandler Clark, and Richard "Mutt" Guy Clark.

    Cat graduated from Chocowinity High School in 1968. She was once a military wife who travelled the world living in many places including Germany, Hawaii, and Okinawa, Japan among others.

    She was preceded in death by her parents, brother Daryl Clark, and ex-husband Billy Clyde Bland. She is survived by her daughter, Connie Bland Langley, son Billy Clyde Bland, Jr, grandchildren Jaden Leigh Ann Langley, Charlotte Grace Sikes, Billy Clyde Bland III, Hannah Nicole Bland, and Dylan Lee Bland, and various nieces and nephews.

    Cat worked for several different companies including as a supply clerk for National Spinning Company for 17 years, and Smithfield Packing for over a decade, as a clerk for Pirates Loot for 4 years, and as an assistant manager at the Econo Lodge for around a decade. She was a beloved member of Grimesland Free Will Baptist Church. Cat was a wonderful woman, who loved to travel, and she touched the hearts of those around her wherever she went. However, her home will always be 320 North Charlotte Street, Washington, NC.

    A memorial service was held Friday, April 3, 2020 at her home. A Celebration of her Life will be held after the pandemic passes.

    Whether it was a holiday, or just a regular day, the house was always full of cooked food, family, friends, and love. She will be missed by many, and a large celebration of her life will be held as soon as it is able. Even if she is not here with us, she will be in our hearts forever.

    "Love to all the family"
