Cathree Elizabeth Gori

April 14, 1948 – August 9, 2021

Cathree Elizabeth Gori went to be with our Lord in Heaven on Aug. 9, 2021, at her home in Moses Lake, Washington. She passed on surrounded by her family and her loving partner, Jim Fisher.

Cathree was born April 14, 1948, in Everett, Washington, to Raymond and Melba (Cowan) Heinzen. She met Jerome Gori in New London, Connecticut, in 1968 and they married Aug. 4, 1972. They moved to Columbia Falls, Montana, and then to Mukilteo, Washington, in 1986 where they raised their children, Missalee (Gori) Ortiz and Jason Gori.

Cathree was a woman of many occupations, working in the service industry and earning an accounting degree while raising her children and working two jobs. She then built her own successful housekeeping business of many years until her retirement.

Cathree was an extremely talented seamstress, interior decorator, gardener and musician. Her deep devotion and service to the Church and her faith throughout her life was an inspiration to all who knew her. She was also very active in supportive groups providing unfaltering friendship, guidance, and hope.

Cathree is survived by her four brothers Raymond, Jack, Clay and David Heinzen; her two children Missalee and Jason; son-in-law Vince Ortiz; daughter-in-law Jhing (Alvarez) Gori and much-loved grandchildren EJ Alvarez, Andrew Ortiz and Jazmyne Gori.
