Obituary For Cathy Colleen Fait
FITCHBURG, Cathy Colleen Fait, age 73, passed away unexpectedly, on Tuesday, March 14, 2023 at St. Mary’s Hospital. Cathy was born May 31, 1949 in Marshfield, WI to Robert and Helen Dums. She graduated from Marshfield High School, and later obtained her degree as a dental assistant. Cathy was married to Ron Fait on June 13, 1970 at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Marshfield, WI. The majority of her work career was spent as an educational assistant in the Madison Metropolitan School District. She was a longtime member of the Holy Mother of Consolation Catholic Church.
In her free time, Cathy enjoyed traveling, including gambling stops to Las Vegas and annual trips to visit family in Arizona. She cherished spending time with both family and friends. Her true passion in life was to love and nurture her entire family, especially her children and grandchildren. She unconditionally and unselfishly loved them dearly and supported them immensely throughout her life. Cathy will be remembered by everyone who knew her for her kindness, quick wit, humorous storytelling, generosity, and positive attitude. Anyone who knew Cathy would say that she improved the lives of everyone around her and made this a better world to live in. She will be greatly missed.
Cathy is survived by her husband of 53 years, Ron; children, Pamela (Mark) Emmerich and Patrick (Chelsea); grandchildren, Madeline, Mallorie, Harrison, and Natalie; father, Robert Dums; siblings, Ron Dums, Tom (Terri) Dums, Peggy (Dan) Potter, Mick (Audrey) Dums, Becky David, and Bob (Colette) Dums. She is further survived by many nieces, nephews, other family and friends. Cathy is preceded in death by her mother, Helen.

Dear Fait and Dums Families, I am so saddened to learn of your loss. There are many happy memories of Cousin Cathy (and her siblings) during our growing up years. During a visit with her and my sisters, at her Father's home, I saw her as a person dedicated to her family and grandchildren. More and more, she has reminded me of her mother, Helen, with her quick wit, her lovely laugh, and her amazing, positive attitude. Please know, you are in my prayers during this difficult time. Rosemary (Giles) Towle

I am shocked beyond belief to read about Cathy's passing. I have so many fun memories of working with Cathy at West High School and cheering our boys in Volleyball games. She always had great stories to tell that kept us laughing when we should have been working! Her love for her family and grandchildren was first and foremost in her life. So sorry for your loss. RIP, dear friend!

I can't think about Cathy without smiling deep from my heart. She brought so much laughter to every gathering. I always felt that she could find and spread joy in everything she did. It's hard to imagine the loss that her family is feeling. Heaven has gained an amazing angel.
