Cheyennes words
While we all learned how to be tough, our mother taught us how to be gentle. Even when life was mean, my mother taught us how to be kind. When we were taught how to hold a grudge, our mother taught us to forgive. And when all we wanted to do was cry, our mother made us smile. And when life would bring us down, our mother showed how to stand back up. Life was never easy for her, losing her sister and best friend, Millie, losing the love of her life, single mother of 4, and all the little things in between. She persevered and stuck around for as long as she could. The strength she had amazes me, she’ll always be my hero for that.
Big sister Betty’s words
I don’t remember much of Cathy as a young child, I do remember she was frail and was sick a lot. She was a tiny girl that is why nohkom and nimosom called her apistis-iskwew (Small woman). I remember babysitting her when I was 5 or 6 years old. We were home alone and it was getting dark. So I carried her to the neighbor’s house, sometimes I would fall because I was small. We finally made it to the neighbor’s house where we spent the night. The next day she walked us home, this time she carried Cathy. Mom was in and out of the hospital. One day she had to go back to the sanatorium in Fort Qu’appelle, I was dropped off in Loon Lake with my nohkom and nimosom and Cathy was taken to the sanatorium hospital in Saskatoon. Little did I know, I was going to be taken to the sanatorium in Edmonton, Charles Camsell. We both had Tuberculosis. When I was able to go home, Cathy wasn’t there. I was told she was taken to a foster home in Meadow Lake. When I was old enough to make the trip, I went and visited my sisters, Millie and Cathy. Cathy was shy and quiet, Mildred was the talkative one, she wouldn’t give anyone a chance to talk. When Cathy was in her early 20’s, she moved to Loon Lake and worked at the band office. She eventually made her way to Onion Lake and stayed with us. She helped me take care of my children. She wanted to work so I ended up driving her to Lloydminster where she found a job at the Husky Truck Stop. I helped her find a place to stay in town with a relative and she worked there all summer. She made enough to move to Edmonton where she met her future husband, Brian. Together they raised 4 children: Brandon, Maxine, and her twins Cheyenne and Nathan. We lost touch when she moved to Vancouver. Her husband passed away in the late 90’s, he was from Sturgeon Lake, AB. This is where her final resting place will be, with Brian.
