Mary Kathleen “Cathy” Sockoch, 80, of Lebanon, IL, died Saturday, February 23, 2019, at Memorial Hospital East, Shiloh, IL.
Mary was born March 28, 1938 to Alvin and Mildred (nee Higginson) Borup in Uniontown, KY. On June 8, 1957, she married Jack Sockoch in Shawneetown, IL.
Mary was a devoted, loving, Christian wife, mother and grandmother, who raised three children while accompanying her husband during 20 years of military service.

She was kind and compassionate toward everyone. She loved her family and made their lives easier any way she could. She made the world a better place and brightened each and every day. Her family would be lost without her, had it not been for the example she was to them. She will be loved and honored always by her family and all who knew her.
