Have you ever thought that what you do today impacts the legacy you leave tomorrow? Trudy Cathy White tells the story of the real heart and soul of the Cathy family; her mother, Jeannette M. Cathy.
Trudy Cathy White is a wife of 42 years to her husband, John. They have four children and fifteen grandchildren.
Trudy was just 19 years old when she began working in the family business — Chick-Fil-A.
Both she and her husband served for twenty years with the International Mission Board with ten of those years in Brazil starting a small church and “Lar WinShape,” a home for children in need.
The Whites are co-founders of LifeShape and Impact 360 Institute.
“When I think of legacy, I think really it is the word that defines for us our everyday choices that we make and how we live our life.” ~ Trudy Cathy White
