Chatauqua attended Hoover and later Roosevelt High schools. She managed to graduate even though her sickle cell disease kept her in and out of the hospital. Chatauqua never let the illness keep her down. She lived life to the fullest. She was a great cook and her lasagna and jambalaya was the best around. Even though she was a good cook, she loved eating other peoples cooking. Chatauqua was a loving and caring person. She tried to help anyone that needed help. She had a smile that would light up the room. And we all know CHATAUQUA LOVED SHOES! She never met a pair of shoes she didnt like. She had over a hundred pairs.
