On and off since 1974, Cox chose to make Washoe County her home until her passing in 2024. Much of her time was spent researching, sharing and exploring Nevada history. Here you will be able to access her educational videos, information about her life accomplishments and enjoy a first-hand account on what it was like to work with Cox on a project for the Nevada Women’s History Project, writing and researching the lives of the First Ladies of Nevada.

Catharine Downer Sanders

Kay Sanders

Catharine Downer Sanders was born, Catharine Roberta Downer, on August 6, 1935 at St. Mary’s to Alice Gottschalk Downer and Robert Carpenter Downer. She was a fourth-generation Nevadan with roots back to the mining camps of the 1870s. She spent her early childhood traveling rural Nevada with her parents and younger brothers Robert Jr. and Craig while her father was an engineer for the Nevada highway department. Her love of Nevada and outdoor adventures began in these early childhood experiences, and Nevada and Nevada History, was the source of fascinating stories and fun investigations for her.
