Mary Catherine (Kathy) Beigie
November 1, 1937 – May 1, 2025
Kathy (Hall) Beigie was born in Lansing, Ohio to William and Helen Hall and grew up with siblings Bill and David. Her lifelong love of music blossomed in childhood, inspired by her mother, who often played piano accompaniments at the local movie house. As a child, she played pickup sports with neighborhood kids including future Hall of Famers Phil Niekro (baseball) and John Havlicek (basketball).
Kathy attended Muskingum College where she studied music and once performed Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” with a symphony orchestra. While singing with the college choir, Kathy met fellow choir member and Muskingum student Carl Beigie whom she married in the early 1960’s. The couple moved to Arlington, Massachusetts where Kathy began her teaching career while Carl continued his studies at MIT. Her sons David and Darin were born in 1963 and 1964, respectively. The family moved for a brief time to London, Ontario before relocating to Manhasset, New York. In the early 1970’s, the family moved to Montreal. Kathy would eventually become a dual U.S. and Canadian citizen.
In Montreal, Kathy resumed teaching piano. In the 1980’s the family moved to Toronto where Kathy worked for many years at the St. Michael’s Choir School, forming lasting friendships with students and staff. Kathy traveled throughout North America, Europe and Asia with Carl, but her true passions remained family, faith and music. After relocating to Niagara-On-The-Lake, Kathy cared for Carl who suffered a series of strokes while she battled breast cancer herself. Following Carl’s passing in 2010, Kathy spent cherished times with neighbors and friends and was an active member at the St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, where she volunteered writing personal notes to those confined to hospitals and elder care facilities. During the pandemic, Kathy adapted and began conducting piano lessons over FaceTime. Right up until her passing, she was still teaching a few students.
Kathy is survived by sons Darin and David, David’s wife Sue, and their sons Aidan and Matthew. She is also survived by extended family in California and Ohio. The family expresses gratitude to the friends, neighbors, church members, students and care givers who supported her. Kathy would lean on her faith throughout her life. She passed quietly in her sleep at the Chapel Heights Senior Community facility in Niagara Falls. We remember her for a life well lived and will always hold her close to our hearts.
A memorial service will be held at 11:00 A.M., Saturday, May 24th at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. A reception will follow the service. In lieu of flowers, the family invites people to make donations to St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 323 Simcoe Street, Niagara-On-The-Lake, L0S 1J0.
