Cathleen M. “Cathi” (Annis) Burnham passed away unexpectedly at the age of 59 at her home in Warwick, R.I., on Dec. 24, 2017. Cathi was instrumental in organizing the Rhode Island Shorthand Reporters Association, keeping its members apprised of upcoming seminars and events. Following in the footsteps of her aunt, Beulah Dixon, Cathi became the owner and operator of Allied School of Court Reporting, where she taught many students from Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. More importantly, though, Cathi was known for her big heart. Members became part of her family, and she ensured that each and every one knew that her door was open for advice, guidance, and support. Cathi was truly an integral part of the court reporting profession.
