They didn't, St. Timothy was a first century bishop of Ephesus who was martyred for the faith and declared a saint by the early Christians. The Church didn't start canonizing people until Gregory IX made it the only form of declaring saints in A.D. 1234.

In the Catholic Church who decides which person will become a saint?

Only God decides who becomes a saint. However, the Catholic Church has a canonization process that investigates the lives of people to determine if they really are in Heaven. It is a lengthy and consuming process carried out under the auspices of the Sacred Congregation for the Causes of Saints in the Vatican. Under their direction the investigation takes place and miracles attributed to the person are studied and verified. Once they have all the information they make a recommendation to canonize or not to canonize and then present their findings to the pope who makes the final decision.
