Catherine Joiner Osborne, 66
April 13, 1957 – November 11, 2023
Catherine Joiner Osborne was born April 13, 1957, in Tunica, Mississippi to Franklin and Pauline Joiner. While born in Tunica, Mississippi, Catherine’s teen years saw her attending school in the states of Washington, New York, and Maryland before graduating from high school at Okolona High School in Okolona, Mississippi. After graduating from high school, Catherine attended Mary Holmes College in West Point, Mississippi where she was trained to become a Certified Nursing Assistant. She would later return to college at Itawamba Community College where she studied to become an Administrative Assistant.
Catherine was known for her devotion to Christ. Her passion for the Lord began early while living in Tunica, MS, where she was baptized at Pleasant Ridge Missionary Baptist Church. Her devotion to Christ and the church continued throughout her life. After marrying, she became a member of Black Oak Missionary Baptist Church where she served as a Children’s Sunday School teacher and Children’s Choir Director. Later in life, she would move to Fulton, MS and attend Open Door Worship Center. After moving to Houston, TX, she attended Union Church.
Catherine’s love and devotion was not limited to the Lord. She was a loving mother to her two children, Raymond Jarman Osborne and Veronica Marzeta Osborne. Catherine began instructing her children in the ways of the Lord at an early age, spending weekends reading them Bible Stories and singing hymns to them throughout the week.
Catherine showed love and kindness to all who met her. She especially had a soft heart for animals. She opened her home and heart to her dog Pedro and cat Isabella. However, no pet touched her life more than her Yorkshire Terrier, Max.
Catherine is survived by her children Raymond Jarman Osborne (Kawana) and Veronica Marzeta Osborne; grandchildren: Cypres Racquel McCoy, Taboris Ramon Osborne (Morgan), Jamya Henderson, Morgan Vanessa ‘Rae Osborne, Julian Xavier Osborne, and Ava Ashley Osborne; great-grandchildren: Brooklen McCoy, London McCoy, Keyarie McCoy, James Osborne, and Jack Osborne; sisters: Curlene Bowen, Jerdene Jones, Delois Johnson (Eddie), Jeniece Elliot, Pearlie Joiner, and brothers: Franklin Joiner (Delores), Henry Joiner (Rosie), and Alvin Joiner.
