Catherine Rhodes
Catherine was resilient, independent, a go-getter, loving and caring women that was always willing to help others. Above all, she was a Prayer Warrior. She had relentless faith in GOD. She always said, “If you put GOD first, you cannot fail because all things come through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She prayed for everyone and always lit candles when she went to church. She was a parishioner of St. John’s the Evangelist Roman Catholic Church in White Plains, NY. She retired from The Westchester Medical Center after 37 years as a Nurses Technician. In her leisure, she loved traveling with the Elks Club and shopping at her favorite stores, Lord and Taylor and Macy’s.
She was also a dedicated member of Rosebud Temple #297 of White Plains, NY where she became a member in 1986. She served on various committees such as: Purple Cross Nursing, Past State President, Grand Temple Officer, Past Grand Daughter Ruler and Grand District Deputy. She enjoyed everything about being a daughter of the Elks. The traveling, dances, making of the Christmas and Thanksgiving basket to feed needy families, the Easter egg hunts and Christmas parties for the children, preparing get well baskets for the sick elders’ of the organization, but most of all the sister and brotherhood.
She was preceded in death by her husband Leroy B. Rhodes, her son George De’Andre Scriber, her sisters Arnett Bullock, Ethel Thomas, Annie Scriber, Vivian Scriber & Clara Scriber, her brother Joseph Albert Scriber (Hattie Bell), and a very special brother Francis Elwood Scriber, Sr, a very special sister-in-law Mary Helen Scriber, one nephew Thomas Scriber, two nieces Ardell Elizabeth Scriber and Cynthia Scriber.
She leaves to cherish her memory three daughters: Ernestine Scriber of Fort Washington, MD, Angela (Joseph) Saunders of White Plains, NY, and Annette Rhode of Jacksonville, FL; one brother James Edgar Scriber; Sister-in-law Olivia Walker and brother-in-law Euvon (Janet) Jones; four grandchildren: Shanta Boyd, Joseph Saunders III, Brandon Rhodes and Bryan Bagger; as well as two great-grandchildren, Tyishaun Boyd and Blythe Rhodes; as well as a host of Nieces and Nephews.
She will always be remembered for her loving and kind heart, love for her family and the Elks Club. She will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
