March 19, 1955 – July 6, 2019
Cath passed away peacefully at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home. Her cancer diagnosis was known by family and close friends and kept as private as possible. This was what she wanted.
Bout number 3 took a toll, but she did return to work. Number 4 really wasn’t a surprise, except for the fact that the diagnosis came so quickly after the third one.
She will be missed by her four-legged kids, Elephant, Tater and Little Guy; her siblings, Jim (Joyce), Pat, Peggy, Rick (Barbara) and Barb; and all her nephews and their spouses; as well as her friends, Helen, Janis, Linda, Tom, Teressa, Marg, Theresa and Marianne. She was predeceased by her sister Judy (Mike).
Thank you to Drs. Proctor and Tevendale, nurses April and Donna, Tracy S and Tracy W and many others on the 8th floor Cancer Clinic at RIH. In addition to her treatments, this remarkable group of people provided strength and support to Cath. Another thank-you to all the technicians from the many departments at RIH involved in the diagnoses. Finally, a thank-you to Aaron Glover and his staff at Glover’s Medical Centre.
To everyone who has given their friendship and support to Cath, it was, is, and will continue to be very much appreciated. We know Cath is looking forward to the next stage of her journey and will be arriving with a smile.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the Hospice, the RIH Cancer Clinic, or an animal sanctuary.

I would like to express my condolences in your loss of Cath. Cath and I worked together many years ago with Brownies in Westsyde. There was nothing she wouldn’t do for those girls and they adored her. When she moved out of Westsyde, she gifted me with some irises from her garden. I think of her every spring when they bloom.My thoughts are with your family
So sorry to hear of Cathy’s passing. She was a wonderful person and a good neighbour to my parents. Always willing to help and be involved. She will be missed!
I was sorry to hear of Cathy’s passing. I met Cathy at work – she was always so pleasant as we exchanged a few words and a smile whenever we saw each other. Blessings on her family and loved ones at this time.
