Catherine M. Hyland

Catherine M. Hyland (Cay), age 89, passed away on March 18th, 2025. Cay was born in Rochester, MN to Lawrence and Florence Baskin, and was one of four children.  In 1956 Cay married the love of her life, Robert Hyland (Bob), and the couple had one daughter Diana, who was their pride and joy.  In 1973 the family moved to Albuquerque, NM where they enjoyed camping, the beautiful mountains, and nice weather. 

Cay loved spending time with her family. Her greatest joy came from family gatherings and celebrations, traveling with her husband Bob, a girls day out shopping with Diana and Ashley, watching old westerns, and visiting with Diana while enjoying coffee together.

Cay is survived by her loving family; daughter and son-in-law, Diana and Tim Eells; granddaughter, Ashley and her husband Jason; grandson, Tyler; 3 great-grandchildren, Joshua, Alianna, and Kylie; and many nieces and nephews. 

She was preceded in death by her husband of almost 64 years, Bob Hyland. 

She was a wonderful wife, mom, grandma, and great grandma who was loved beyond measure and will forever be in our hearts. She will be missed dearly by family and friends.

A memorial service will be held at Vista Verde Memorial Park in Rio Rancho, NM once a date is finalized.
