Cathy Goforth

Cathy L. (Linch) Goforth 52 of Hide-A-Away Hills also known as the Goforthinator, passed away on Sunday, October 22, 2017 at OSU Wexner Medical Center surrounded by her family after a yearlong battle with cancer. A warrior in every sense, her strength and courage will carry me through until we are together again.

She was born in Wooster, Ohio on May 1, 1965. She dedicated her life to caring for others. She first was a nurse and later as an Emergency Department Physician’s Assistant at Fairfield Medical Center. To those that worked with Cathy, she cherished every moment she had with you.

Cathy was a member of the River Valley Life Center, loved Jesus, the outdoors, fishing and her pets. She is survived by husband, Odean Goforth; step-daughter, Stacy (Fiancé’ Anthony White) Goforth of Olmsted Falls, Ohio; mother and father, Terry and Gladys “Gabby” Linch of Wooster, Ohio; brothers, Terry Linch of Wooster, Ohio and Scott Linch of Wadsworth, Ohio and nephews, Brad, Andy and Tyler.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date in the spring. Caring Cremation® is being handled by the FRANK E. SMITH FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORY, 405 N. COLUMBUS ST., LANCASTER, OHIO 43130. Memorial gifts may be given to the Leukemia Research Foundation, 191 Waukegan Road, Suite 105,
