Catherine Ann Hawley

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of our dear mother, Catherine (Campbell) Hawley of Whycocomagh, and formerly of Nevada Valley, which occurred on Monday, June 6th, 2011, in Inverness Consolidated Memorial Hospital. Born at home in Brook Village on December, 15th, 1919, she was a daughter of the late John Duncan and Mary Belle (MacKinnon) Campbell. She was a faithful member of St. John the Baptist Church, Brook Village. Catherine was known for her style, love of card playing with her dear friends, her wisdom, strength and love. She was, and always will be, the glue that bound our family together. She was a deeply spiritual Lady and her faith guided her life from beginning to end.
