Catherine was born on January 4th, 1918, the only daughter of John & Mary (Grovijahn) Ausdemore. She and her six brothers grew up on the family farm three miles south of Crofton. On April 18th, 1944, she married Sylvester "Sal" Bockholt of rural Fordyce at the Constance Church.

She became a resident of Majestic Bluffs living community in April 2011, then Avera Sister James Care Center in January 2014.
A lifelong member of St. Joseph's Catholic Church, a member of the Christian Mothers Society and St. Joseph's Ladies Guild, Catherine was active in quilting, bazaars, and other church activities. Most of her life was spent caring for others; her parents, brothers, children, husband, and sometimes elderly relatives, but she always found time to have a large garden. She maintained a membership in the Crofton American Legion Auxiliary Post 128 and enjoyed lunches and other gatherings at the Crofton Senior Citizen's Center. Her favorite pastimes were fishing, playing cards, bowling and bingo. The joy of playing cards and bingo continued throughout her life.
