Pride St. Charles is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Cat Criswell.
We were incredibly fortunate to have Cat volunteer with us at Pride St. Charles this past June. We are grateful that she chose to give her time, energy, and support to our organization and our community.
Catโs dedication to the LGBTQ+ community extended far beyond any one organization. She showed up, gave back, and helped make our community a better and more welcoming place. We are honored that Pride St. Charles was one of the many places touched by her kindness and commitment.
Our hearts are with Catโs family, friends, the Pride St. Louis family, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing and loving her.
Rest in peace, Cat. Thank you for continuing to show up for the community. Your impact will not be forgotten. ๐ณ๏ธโ๐โค๏ธ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐ซถ๐ฝ

We are incredibly grateful for the many years Cat gave to Pride St. Louis and for the impact she made along the way. Her dedication, allyship and presence will not be forgotten.
Our thoughts are with Catโs family, friends, and all those who knew and loved her during this difficult time.
Arrangements are pending, and we will share additional information as it becomes available.
Rest in peace, Cat. Thank you for everything you gave to Pride St. Louis and our community.
