With great sadness the family of Catherine “Cathie” McMillan Herzog announce her passing peacefully in her sleep on Wednesday, August 11, 2021 at Trinity Village Care Centre in her 102nd year. Born in Kirkliston, Scotland and emigrated to Canada in 1980.
Loving mother of Valerie (Ozzie) Bell, Linda (Larry d. August 7, 2021) Dietrich and George Robert Thomson (d.2014). Much loved Nana to Samantha (Steve) Lockner, Jordan (Sara)Bell, Gareth (Dana) Bell, Elliot Fung, Andrew Fung and Scott (Jordanna) Dietrich. Great-Nana will be missed by Kristen and Nathan Lockner, Seth and Brody Bell, Spencer, Grayson, Parker and Ruby Fung.
Predeceased by her husbands George Thomson in 1976 and Clarence Herzog 2001, son-in-law Geoffrey Fung and grand-daughter Jennifer Fung.
Everyone who knew Cathie would tell you she was one of the nicest human beings you could meet and was truly one of a kind. Cathie was a woman of many talents. In her youth in Scotland she was a highland dancer, she served in the ATS as an Army mechanic during WWII and was a seamstress by trade. She was creative and artistic with her many crafting skills. Cathie was very generous with her time and was a lifelong volunteer. She was also “Wrinkles” the clown with the KW Seniors Clown troupe entertaining at local hospitals. Always quick with a smile or a joke and the most wonderful laugh. She loved music, remembering the words to many songs and enjoyed a good sing-along.
Special thanks to all the staff at Trinity Village Care Centre for their exceptional care of Mom during her time there.
Mom, Nana, Great-Nana you will be greatly missed by all of us, and our lives were better because of you. Rest in Peace, Nana.
As an expression of sympathy donations can be made to Trinity Village Care Centre Recreation Program or Canadian Cancer Society.
Arrangements entrusted to Henry Walser Funeral Home, 519-749-8467. A private family service will be held.
