DONOR STORY

Cathy Knopp was born on a dairy farm in Eastern Ohio and raised in the Mennonite Church. She grew up with a brother and a sister. Her brother stayed on the family farm in Ohio, but Cathy had a bit of a wandering soul, so she decided to go to the flatlands of Indiana and attend Goshen College. She graduated from Goshen College in 1974 and made some lifetime friends there. In 1986, she graduated from Indiana University Fort Wayne Campus receiving her Master’s degree in Education.
