Cathy worked at Portage Mutual Insurance Co. in Bedford for the last seven years. Cathy had a great zest for life, friends and laughter.

Cathy was predeceased by her father, infant son, Andrew; infant twin brothers; mother-in-law, Lena and stepfather, Edgar Richard.
Cathy was diagnosed with cancer in May 2009 and with the support of her family and friends she fought the good fight, her humour never failing.
Her family would like to thank her circle of friends for their love and support.
