A Catharine's name is written as "Catharine" with an "A" on 90% of her documents, across her nine decades on this Earth. This includes the headline of her obituary, which is the only place where he full name is listed. They then proceed to mess her name up immediately thereafter and spell it the more common way of "Catherine", which became popular as Catharine got older.
