Frances Catherine “Cathy” Hausser, 84, passed away Saturday, January 2, 2021, in Worthington, Ohio. She was the beloved daughter of William Denny “Potters” Adams and Mary Oliverio Adams, and dear sister of William Carmen “Buck” Adams (Phyllis) and Anthony Thomas “Tony” Adams Sr. (Caye).

Cathy was a treasured and intrepid matriarch. She was a mother of seven, Fonda Rush (Katie), Crystal Rush (Dennis), Jolie Rush, Mitchell Rush, Aaron Rush (Amanda), Kim Hausser Stone (Mark) and Jenifer Hausser Blair (David); grandmother of 11; great-grandmother of 24; great-great-grandmother of one.

She was preceded in death by her devoted husband, Dr. Gordon Wayne Hausser; and her daughter, Jolie Rush.

Though her family was Cathy’s primary focus, her influence extended far beyond. She was a friend to many, active in her community, and never passed up an opportunity to volunteer or mentor. She loved going to the symphony with her late husband and played a mean game of bridge. She was the epitome of grace and style. She never knew a stranger and made everyone she met feel like a cherished friend. Legendary were her sense of humor, her fudge, and her kid-corralling whistle. The world will certainly be darker without her, but the light she brought to it is immeasurable.

Due to safety concerns, there will be no funeral or service right now. She will be cremated and interred with her late husband at Worthington Presbyterian Church. Once the dangers of Covid-19 are behind us, the family will host a party to celebrate her incredible life.

In the meantime, if anyone would like to pay their respects, the family is encouraging donations to the Alzheimer’s Association or the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America.
