CATHERINE “CATHY” PATERSON NEE BARIL

DECEMBER 2, 1955 – AUGUST 18, 2022

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our wife, mom, grandma/ grammie Cathy, after a lengthy journey with posterior cortical atrophy.

Left to mourn and cherish so many happy memories are her mother Nadia Baril, her husband of 45 years Kevin, daughters Sara (David), and Carolyn (Matt), her grandchildren Félix, Madeleine, Charlotte, Jack, and Abigail, her siblings, nieces, nephews, and so many other family members and friends.

Cathy married her high school sweetheart Kevin in 1977.  They moved to Yellowknife, then Edmonton before finally settling back in Winnipeg where they raised their girls Sara and Carolyn. Upon her and Kevin’s retirement they spent time travelling together and with friends and family. Nothing brought her more joy however, than her grandchildren.

We are heartbroken, and yet we are grateful for the memories we’ve made, and the time that we had together.

The family would like to thank all of the staff at Calvary Place for the excellent care they gave to Cathy over the last year, especially the angels on 3N.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity or organization that is close to your heart.

Please join us for a celebration of life on Wednesday August 24th from 1-3pm at The Gates on Roblin 6945 Roblin Blvd, Headingley, MB.

Condolences may be sent to www.wojciksfuneralchapel.com

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

 “If you love something, love it completely, cherish it, say it, but most importantly, show it. Life is finite and fragile, and just because something is there one day, it might not be the next. Never take that for granted. Say what you need to say, then say a little more. Say too much. Show too much. Love too much. Everything is temporary but love. Love outlives us all.”
