SAN ANGELO, TX — She retired in June 2019 from the San Angelo Police Department. A quick search of the San Angelo LIVE! archives will find many mentions of Officer Cathy Delaughter. She was likely the first person to greet you at the police station if you went there on business.
After retirement, Delaughter moved to a small home near Metzon, in Sherwood. When the winter weather storm arrived Sunday night, Delaughter and her son and grandson left home to stay in San Angelo. It was warmer and safer to weather the storm in the city.
Tragically, while in San Angelo, her home caught on fire. The entire residence burned to the ground.
