Cathy leaves to cherish her memory her mother- Margaret Follett, sisters Debbie Crump and Beth Follett, brothers-in-laws Allan Crump and Stan Dragland, nephews Andrew (with Callie Teeteart) and Iain Crump as well as a wealth of loved family members and friends.
Cathy was predeceased by her father Robert Follett in 1990.
Cathy enjoyed her nursing career at St. Boniface General Hospital, the V. O. N., The Kinsmen Reh-Fit Centre and with MPI; along with a very short teaching career at Chancellor Elementary School. She would say that her favourite jobs of all were being a mother to Michael and Stephen and an aunt to Andrew and Iain. She lived with the firm belief that "Fun is good".
Special thanks are extended to the care provided to her by the staff of the Health Sciences Centre, CancerCare Manitoba, the Victoria General Hospital and the Riverview palliative unit. Also to each and every friend who helped her in her final days with their unwavering support and endless love. She would have counted herself as lucky to have you in her life as we were lucky to have had her in ours.
A memorial service will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, July 21st at St. Andrew's River Heights United Church, 255 Oak St. Wpg. MB.
In lieu of flowers, donations to the Terry Fox Foundation can be made in her name, and for others who fight the good fight.
