Catherine Anderson
1953-2022
Anderson, Catherine
Eleanor
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of
Catherine Eleanor Anderson (Bard) at her home after a year-long battle
with cancer, in her 69th year. She will be greatly missed by her
husband Gregory Anderson, sons Darryl and Ryan (Emily), daughter
Sarah, granddaughter Lillyana, grandsons William, Cameron and Damon,
her mother Eleanor Bard, her sisters Linda and Barbara, and brother
Stephen. Catherine is predeceased by her father James Bard, and her
sister Sandra Lee Boisjoly (Bard).
Catherine was a kind, gentle soul, and was selfless when it
came to others, especially her family. She was born and raised in
Guelph. She was part of the final graduating class from Guelph General
Hospital School of Nursing, then served 39 years there as a registered
nurse taking care of others.
Mom’s passions were piano playing, travelling and
babysitting her grandsons. In her later years, she and Greg made some
of their best memories while going on cruises with their close
friends, and visiting their eldest son in Thailand and
Switzerland.
Special thanks to the doctors who took care of her, including
Dr Danielli, Dr Marcaccio at Juravinski Cancer Centre, Dr Schafir, the
staff at Grand River Cancer Centre, and the nurses at the Oncology
Centre at Guelph General Hospital.
Cremation has taken place. Interment of cremated
remains to be held in Woodlawn Memorial Park, Guelph, at a later date.
Due to Covid limitations, a Celebration of Life service will be held
at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate
donations to Jesse’s Journey 519-645-8855 or the Canadian
Cancer Society 1-800-268-8874.
