Administrative Assistant
Catherine Johnson moved to the
Moore area in her teens, where
she attended Brink Jr. High and,
then, graduated from Westmoore
High School. After high school,
she attended Oklahoma City
Community College while working
toward a degree in business.
Catherine also has taken several
cooking and cake decorating classes
at the Moore Norman Technology
Center to further her interests in
those areas.
Catherine previously owned a
business in Moore called Ideal
Tan & Tone, which was located off
the I-35 Service Road. During her
time of ownership, she turned the
business from barely making ends
meet to having so many customers,
her waiting area would often be
standing room only. She sold her
business due to an illness in the
family and, unfortunately, after the
sale, the business closed.
During the last three years,
Catherine has worked at the
Earlywine Park YMCA as a fitness
instructor, teaching a group
exercise class designed for active
older adults, as well as a class
teaching children proper exercise
techniques. She also worked in the
Membership Services department
of the YMCA, answering various

questions regarding all aspects of
membership.
Catherine married Chris, a Moore
High School graduate, and they have
a 12- year-old son, Conor, who is in
his final year at Red Oak Elementary.
Catherine and her family enjoy
traveling together and especially like
to take cruises. Catherine and Conor
can often be found in the kitchen
baking together.
Catherine recently began
employment at the Moore Chamber
of Commerce and is very excited to
meet all of the members.
