1. | Susanne Catherine Begich was born on 11 Jan 1943 in Mount Kisco, Westchester, New York, United States; died on 5 Apr 2015 in Pleasant Grove, Utah, Utah, United States; was buried on 11 Apr 2015 in Larkin Sunset Gardens, Sandy, Salt Lake, Utah, United States. Notes:
Susanne C. Begich was born on her father's birthday, January 11th. She was the only child of Carl Begich and Winifred Calista Welty.
Just a little more than a month after her birth her father enlisted in the military, rather than being sent home to be drafted. His promising career as a journalist was interrupted so that he could serve.
He never returned.
This, of course, profoundly changed the course of his daughter's life. Going by the name of Cathi, she would be raised in California (not New York) and take on a step father, Pascal H. Caldwell, when her mother remarried in 1946.
Cathi married at the tender age of 17 to Kyle Westover, Sr and became mother to five children: Jay, Debbie, Jeff, David and Kris.
She had tremendous talents as an artist and worked for many years in a creative professional capacity. She later worked as a receptionist for many years at a local pet hospital, a job she very much enjoyed.
Cathi's passion was always her family and she greatly enjoyed grandparenting as "Nana". She attended the births of many of her grandchildren.
She was also passionate about family history and temple work and pioneered the efforts of finding the roots of her Begich, Caldwell, Welty and Carson ancestral lines.
Susanne married Kyle Jay Westover, Sr. on 12 Aug 1960 in Carson City, Nevada, United States. Kyle (son of Leon Arnold Westover and Maurine Riggs) was born on 20 Mar 1942 in Richfield, Sevier County, Utah; died on 16 Nov 2021 in Cottonwood Heights, Salt Lake County, Utah; was buried on 20 Nov 2021 in Larkin Sunset Gardens, Sandy, Salt Lake, Utah, United States.
