A quick google found this info

A young folk singer named Cathie Taylor was featured on Tennessee Ernie's TV show #99 on February 19, 1959. She sang "Turn Around" and did a duet with Ernie on "Froggie Went A-Courtin'". Other guests on that show were Caesar Romero and the group Top Twenty.

She apparently first recorded for Toppa ("The Tree Near My House"/"Two Straws and a Soda" [Toppa 1006, 1959]), then was signed to Capitol (Ernie Ford's label) where she released two LPs in 1960: A Little Bit of Sweetness [Capitol ST-1359] and The Tree Near My House [Capitol ST-1448]. She had a single on Capitol in 1961 "Bobby Boy"/"I'll Never Graduate from You" [Capitol 4565].

In 1962, Cathie appeared on the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans show "National Horse Show from the Cow Palace in San Francisco" with a group as "Cathie Taylor and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police."

On May 17, 1963, she starred as a singer in the Alfred Hitchcock Hour feature "Run for Doom".

Cathie Taylor showed up on an 1963 MGM folk comp (Hootenanny Hoot, MGM SE-4172) which was the soundtrack from a film of the same name where she guest starred, and then in 1964 on Reprise with the LP Cathie Taylor Sings of the Land and of the People [Reprise RS-6121].

She appeared on Shindig on September 1, 1965, and sang "Around the Corner."

By 1965, she was on Gene Autry's TV show singing country songs. She received The Academy of Country Music's Most Promising Female Artist in 1966, then in 1967 the Top New Female Vocalist of the Year award, and in 1969 the Top Female Vocalist Award. Strangely, she never had hit 45s or LPs on the country charts, but her fame came from TV. There's a 1965 photo of her (with Billy Mize) at the bottom of the Gene Autry Melody Ranch web page:

She later had a couple of country singles for Columbia, including "Baby, Baby, Have You Got Cheatin' On Your Mind" (The Answer Song To "Woman, Woman")/"In Case of a Storm" [Columbia 4-44459, 1968] and "It's a Long Drop From a Dream"/"A Habit I Can't Break" [Columbia 44714]. She toured as a country artist as late as the early-to-mid 1970s.

By the mid-1970s, Cathie Taylor had three Christian albums out on Pat Robertson's HouseTop label from 1975-1977, and regularly appeared on his TV show, "The 700 Club."

This, as far as a singing career, is probably "what happened to her." I count six complete LPs and some appearances on VA comps, as well as some singles and a slew of TV appearances.
