Cathy was born in Kansas City, MO. She was preceded in death by her mother, RoseMarie Bradley, and her father, James H. "Junior" Bradley. Cathy grew up in Kansas City, attending St. Elizabeth grade school and graduated from St. Teresa's Academy. Beginning at the age of 12, she helped out at her family business, the Pumpernickel Deli, and worked side by side with her entire close and extended family to make it a successful downtown fixture.

She moved to Oklahoma City in 2001 and later opened up her own Italian restaurant, Vito's Ristorante. For the past 20 years, Vito's welcomed each customer as family. Cathy had a remarkable ability to make everyone she met feel valued and heard; a quality that served her well when she ventured into local politics. As a city councilwoman and later as the mayor of The City of the Village she championed initiatives to improve parks, sidewalks, and other community resources. Cathy was a beacon for positive change and her absence will be deeply felt by all who knew her.

Cathy is survived by her loving husband, Sean Cummings; her devoted children, RoseMarie Curiel (Will Roszel), Danielle Torbeck (Trey), Angelina Curiel, Gabriel Cummings, and Kyle Cummings; her siblings, Julie Copenhaver (Mike), Jim Bradley (Suzanne), Tom Bradley (Ann), and Chuck Bradley (Dana). She will be greatly missed by her many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
