Catherine Maxine Stancher

July 25, 1929 - July 14, 2018

Catherine “Mickey” Stancher was born in Osage, Wyoming on July 25, 1929 to Lloyd and Mary Jackson. She soon moved to Long Beach California with her family when she was still in Highschool. There she found her voice and sang with the Long Beach Civic Light Opera, singing a soprano with a five-octave range. In 1955 the day before Easter she met the love of her life Joseph Stancher, at a singles dance in Long Beach. They were soon married September of that year and spent 49 years together. They became parents to four beautiful children, sons Paul and Lou, daughters Cathy and Ang. And if being a wife and Mother was not enough Mom had a gift of working with Mentally Challenged Adults that meant the world to her. After retiring she came to Banning where she spent time as a Peer Counselor with Riverside County Office On Aging, but before retirement for a second time she briefly worked at the Probation Department here in Banning. She is preceded in death by her Husband Joe and survived by her children, Paul, Lou, Cathy and Ang. She will be greatly missed by her family and all who loved her. There will be a small service for family, and later a separate gathering for family and friends. On behalf of the Stancher Family we wish to Thank everyone for your kind expressions of sympathy and many comforting messages.
