Catherine “Kitt” Head (nee. Carey) passed peacefully away with her loving family by her side on Friday, April 12th, 2024 at the Corner Brook Palliative Care Unit at the age of 67 years. Despite her hard-fought 29-year battle with breast cancer; her strength, determination, and positive outlook on life never waivered and even on her toughest days, she always had words of encouragement for others and a smile on her face. Left with fond and cherished memories are her husband of 46 years: Angus; daughters: Nikita (Lawrence), and Natasha (Carlton); her pride and joy’s, her four beautiful grandchildren: Alex, Olivia, Bria, and Zachary; her two grand-puppies: Sully and Bentley; siblings: Gordon (Patricia), Matthew (Patricia), Mary, William (Carolyn), Pierce (Lorna), Howard (Madonna), and Jacqueline (Doug); mother-in-law: Loretta Head; siblings-in-law: Gary (Colleen), Terry (Cheryl), Cynthia (Gerald), Paul (Joanne), Gail, Deborah (Guy), and Pamela; as well as a large circle of nieces, nephews, other relatives, and many friends, who were more like her family.
Catherine is predeceased by her parents: Gordon and Bridget Carey; father-in-law: Angus Head Sr.; sister: Madonna Brett; brothers-in-law: Eric Nash and David Brett; sister-in-law: Bonita Head; and nieces: Rebecca, and Samantha.
There will be a visitation held on Monday, April 15th, 2024 at Country Haven Funeral Home from the hours of 2-4 PM and 7-9PM, from where the funeral service will take place on Tuesday, April 16th, 2024 at the Most Holy Redeemer Parish, at 10 AM with Father Edward Terry officiating. Interment to follow at Mount Patricia Cemetery. A further interment to take place in Buchans, NL. As expressions of sympathy, flowers are graciously accepted, or a donation can be made in Catherine’s memory to the Canadian Alzheimer’s Society, or to a charity of one’s choice.
Kitt, as she was so fondly known, was born and raised in Buchans, NL and later moved to Corner Brook where she began her career and raised her family. It was in Corner Brook where she met more lifelong friends, including many through her travels with her husband, Angus, on the road for hockey. Kitt loved socializing with friends and was often known as the life of the party. Her quick wit and sense of humour will be greatly missed by all those who had the privilege to know her.
The family would like to express their deep appreciation to the doctors, nurses, and staff of the Palliative Care Unit for their compassion and professional care. Special thanks to Dr. Kate Lafferty, Dr. Amanda Park, Dr. Joy McCarthy, Dr. Christopher Healey, and the many wonderful nurses and staff of the Cancer Care Clinic. To the Community Health nurses who provided exceptional care and comfort to Mom over the past year, especially Tammy Benoite and Ealaina Murrin, who always went above and beyond and became such a dear friend to Catherine. The family would also like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Dr. Nagy Bolous for his unwavering love and support to Mom throughout her journey. Special thank you to her biggest supporter, Diane Thistle, who stood by Catherine through her 29-year battle. To the many friends and family members who called, messaged, and visited – your kind thoughts and expressions of sympathy will never be forgotten, and we are grateful for your love and support. Lastly, thank you to Dwayne Parsons and his staff at Country Haven Funeral Home for their support and kindness shown to our family during this difficult time.
