Manlove, Catherine Gladson



Catherine G. Manlove, age 81, passed away peacefully on November 14, 2007.



Catherine was born January 16, 1926, in Duluth, MN. She is preceded in death by parents

Anna and Walter Gladson, and by husband Dr. Charles H. Manlove III. She is survived by children Mary, Dr. Jeffrey (Deb), and Christopher (Cathy), and grandchildren Abigail, Lucille and Theodore Manlove; also cousin William Domning of Arizona.



Catherine grew up in Duluth, MN, and graduated from Duluth Central in 1943. She attended Carleton College and graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1947, with a degree in Medical Technology. She met her husband while working at Ancker Hospital in St. Paul. Classical opera played a large role in their lives. Catherine joined the board of directors of the Twin Cities Opera Guild in 1957. Cathy, as she was known there, was president of the Guild from 1982-1985 and was on the National Board of Opera Guilds International for six years. Her passion was opera education for children and she served as TCOG Education Chair from 1985-2004. She also valued her friendships in P.E.O. and in the Summit Investment Club. She loved her cabin on Ten Mile Lake, Hackensack, MN, and spent many summers there with her family where she enjoyed fishing and playing bridge. Catherine was generous and was good at including others in her group activities. She will be missed greatly by her family.



A special thanks is given to her caregivers, Mary Nelson and Chris Davis, to HealthEast Hospice and to the staff of Sunrise Assisted Living of Roseville.
