We are saddened to hear about Cat's passing today. She was one of a kind and will be greatly missed!
Pride St. Louis is deeply saddened to share the passing of our former board member, and longtime volunteer, Cathleen “Cat” Criswell.
Cat dedicated many years to Pride St. Louis and our community. Long before joining our Board of Directors, she gave her time as a dedicated volunteer, and even after her board service came to an end, Cat continued to show up and volunteer in support of Pride and the community she cared so much about.
We are incredibly grateful for the many years Cat gave to Pride St. Louis and for the impact she made along the way. Her dedication, allyship and presence will not be forgotten.
Our thoughts are with Cat’s family, friends, and all those who knew and loved her during this difficult time.
Arrangements are pending, and we will share additional information as it becomes available.
Rest in peace, Cat. Thank you for everything you gave to Pride St. Louis and our community.
