Mary Catherine was very devoted to her Catholic faith. Not a
day would go by without her sitting in her rocking chair saying the
rosary and praying for anyone who needed a special blessing. She was
proud of her Scottish heritage and her Gaelic language, which she
spoke and sang. Mary Catherine enjoyed participating in the annual
Johnstown Milling Frolic.
We would like to thank the staff of the Port Hawkesbury
Nursing Home along with Dr. Collins for the care she received,
especially the compassion they showed in her final days. We would like
to give special thanks to Dr. Paul Pluta for his kindness and care
over the years.
