Catherine Roddick graduated from Painesville High School (now Thomas W. Harvey High School) in 1913. After working in Cleveland for many years, Miss Roddick returned to Painesville in 1945. In 1981 she established The Roddick Fund for educational purposes in the Painesville area. In 1987 she left a large part of her estate to increase this fund.
