Ms. Catherine Mattox, 95, of Swainsboro passed away Monday, December 7, 2020 at her residence following an extended illness.  

Ms. Mattox was born February 18, 1925 to the late Mack Clark and Annie Jackson Clark.  She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Charles Mattox; sons, Steve Mattox, Rusty Mattox, and Dave Mattox. Ms. Mattox was born in Baxley.  She moved to Swainsboro with her husband and two young sons in 1955.  Ms. Mattox was a faithful Christian and devoted member of First United Methodist Church of Swainsboro for over 60 years.  During that time, she was a member of the Flanders Hall, Fountain Sunday School Class, The Weslyan Circle of UMW and 55 and Alive.  She was an avid gardener.  Ms. Mattox loved her yard and flowers as much as she loved her family - maybe even more at times.  She was a matriarch to her family - strong-willed, loving, faithful, straight forward and to the point.  Ms. Mattox walked in her faith and lived by her faith.
