Cathy lived in Morpeth, Ontario for many years and was known as a Master Chef and Baker. Her butter tarts, apple pie, chili sauce and salsa were second to none. The children of Morpeth enjoyed her caramel popcorn balls each year on Halloween.
The family would like to thank the many healthcare workers that cared for Cathy throughout her battle with cancer. Special thanks to the nurses of the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance Dialysis Unit.
Cremation has taken place. Family and friends will grieve privately, but when the sun is shining down one summer day her ashes will be placed on the hill in Morpeth.
