She was born October 16, 1925 in Johnson County, the daughter of Raymond Joseph and Catherine (Murphy) Kabela. Catherine grew up on the family farm and started her schooling in a one-room school house 2 miles west of West Branch. After graduating from West Branch High School, Catherine traveled to New Orleans to train as a stewardess at Eastern Airlines. However, since she did not meet the height regulations at the time, she began an office career working in reservations. Catherine was married to her devoted husband of 62 years, Ronald Mervin Ellyson of West Branch, July 22, 1948, after his return from the Navy serving on the USS Hornet during World War II. They lived in the West Branch area most of their married life except for a few years in the 1950's when they moved to Redondo Beach, California. After returning to West Branch, Catherine worked at Owens Brush Company in the data processing department and later at both Crestview Care Center and Cookson Home in West Branch. She retired in 1998 but continued to volunteer at both care facilities. She also served as a Girl Scout leader and was a longtime member of the American Legion Auxiliary. Her favorite pastimes were cooking, reading and music.
