She was predeceased by her husband John, her parents John and Margaret (nee Duncan) and her sister Margaret.

Together with her husband John, they owned and operated Heritage Yarns in St. Jacobs now “A touch of Scotland”. Scottish dancing was Catherine’s passion. She taught under the RSCDS for 50 years.  They also started the Burns supper in St. Jacobs and had a long-standing tradition of 50 years of hosting the New Years Eve Party with plenty of dancing in their own home.

We would like to thank all the staff, nurses and PSW’s at Columbia Forest Long Term Care for all the compassion & care while Mom lived there
