Cathy Padgett -- Mother of the Month of July 2023 -- I grew up in a family with three sisters in Lexington, Kentucky. I graduated from Lafayette High School; active in numerous clubs and activities; graduating in 1963. I attended the University of Kentucky in 1963, with a degree in Home Economics. I taught Home Economics in Illinois, Okinawa, Japan, City of Atlanta, and Trickum Middle School (Gwinnett County). While teaching, I led many clubs, took students to study in Europe, and was once teacher of the year. I accepted Jesus as my savior while in college, and have led Sunday school, youth groups, and adult Bible studies. I am active in Young Life, Methodist, and Presbyterian Churches. I married Ron Padgett and have spent the last 51 years enjoying life with him and our three children. We also have five grandchildren. Having lived in Norcross, GA for 40 years, we have just recently moved to Adairsville, GA.
