Cathy Ebeling Surra

SHINGLEHOUSE, PA—Cathy Ebeling Surra was an extraordinary lady with a zest for life. Her legacy is not the past; the legacy lives on through lives she touched and where they are today. Countless young people were treated with courtesy and were gently taught how to read, write, hold a fork or crayon, how to stay clean, how to hug and express love. She also enjoyed attending church where she was a catechism teacher or singing in the choir.

She was an accomplish calligrapher, remarkable artist/painter, sewed and or darned blankets and gifted her work away. Her decorating skills were not only found in her home, but when she was dressed for an occasion, she was meticulously dressed, and her most pronounced feature were her eyes and a smile.

When most people think about their health, their colon is not usually top of mind. However, colon health plays a major role in digestion, immune function, and overall well-being. March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, making it the perfect time to talk about why taking care of your colon is so important and how a few proactive steps can make a meaningful difference.

Understanding Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer affects the colon or rectum and is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the United States. The encouraging news is that it is also one of the most preventable when caught early. Many colorectal cancers begin as small growths called polyps. These polyps are often harmless at first, but some can develop into cancer over time. Effective screening is the only way to find and remove these polyps before they ever become a serious problem.
