After her retirement, one of her favourite activities was to make daily trips to the local fitness centre where due to her wonderful personality and sense of humour she made some great friends.
She loved to shop for her grandchildren often finding great bargains at her favourite store Frenchys.
Catherine enjoyed her time at the family cottage in Wentworth tending to her flower gardens and socializing with the neighbours. She enjoyed dancing and listening to country music with a glass of wine in hand.

So very sorry to hear about Cathy's passing. My most sincere condolences to Donny and the entire family. Cathy had so much love for life, her family and was always fun to be around. We spent many lunch hours going for walks before she retired. We both enjoyed our annual November Christmas shopping, craft show & lunch date where she was always so pleased to find gifts for her family. The trip we took together to Punta Cana was so much fun and I will always cherish those memories. Sending love, Susan Parker

My thoughts and prayers are with Donny, Derek, David and Jennifer and their families. Catherine was a wonderful sister -in- law, wife, mother, grandmother and daughter. I loved going to Cathy and Donny's house on Boxing Day each year. She was a great cook and hostess. We enjoyed her many trips to Newton Avenue and to the cottages in PEI. Love Michael E. Keeler
