Catherine Jamison was born Catherine Morrison to Laura J. (Loretta) & George L. Morrison Sr. on November 25, 1944, in Fayetteville, NC. Catherine was the second daughter and the fourth of eight children.
Accepting Christ at a young age, she was a faithful member at Parks Chapel FWB under Bishop E.A. Jackson. Catherine graduated from Anne Chestnut Senior High in 1964 and went to trade school to become a data entry operator. Catherine was employed with Quarter Masters, and she was a Governess in North Carolina.
In 1966, Catherine was blessed with her firstborn child, a baby girl, Annette Morrison. In 1970, Catherine met and married Eddie L. Burden, and soon was blessed with her second child Bridget “Candi” in Oakland, California. Later, she moved to Oakland and was employed by the San Francisco Mint for many years. She also worked for a private trucking company (P.I.E.) where she did data entry.
Oakland would be home for Catherine for the next 15 years until she met her soulmate in 1981, Harvey Lee Jamison. Catherine and Harvey were in a world wind of love, which led to happily matrimony on March 17, 1982. Catherine relocated with her children to San Diego. In 1983, Catherine and Harvey would welcome their only child together, daughter Nicole Jamison. Catherine and Harvey were married for twenty-seven long loving years. When she moved to San Diego, she became employed with the San Diego Police Department, and retired from the County of San Diego after twenty years of service.
Catherine was charismatic. She exuded confidence, but not merely on her own; there is nothing more confident than a woman whose faith is strong in the Lord like Catherine Jamison. She was spiritual, loyal, kind, selfless, gentle, loving, joyful, patient, and had the biggest heart ever. She was faithful to her family, friends, and most importantly her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Catherine was called home to be with the Lord on November 29, 2023.
She will forever be loved and missed. She knew how to brighten your day, whether it be with one of her cards, remembering birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, or just words of
encouragement to let you know that she cares. Catherine had an impeccable photographic memory and was able to recall numbers on demand. Her hobbies include watching soap operas, crossword puzzles, word search, and most importantly reading the word of God.
