Cathie was born in Winnipeg, MB and raised there until age 5 when the family along with her Baba (Mary Klowak) and uncle (Bill Klowak) moved to Binscarth, MB. She liked serving customers in the family-owned restaurant hotel. She enjoyed spending time at the 4H club and singing at school concerts with her many friends.
She loved family events and visits from her aunts, uncles, cousins and other family friends. At age 12, she moved back to Winnipeg and attended Salisbury School, Morse Place Jr. High School and graduated from Miles Macdonell Collegiate. She loved going to bars to disco dance and watching movies at the downtown theatres with her girlfriends. Cathie had various jobs including her first at Vic’s Drive-in in Transcona, Gulf Gas, Manager at Sunoco Gas and Materials Management at Boeing Canada.
She enjoyed going to the lake and making crafts which were then sold at craft shows. In 2006 she met her soulmate, Ken who was a match made in heaven. They eventually moved into their dream home in Teulon where they raised Kyle and Taylor. Cathie had a special relationship with her mother and always boasted that she was her best friend sharing countless hours of phone calls each week.
She loved animals and would open her home to cats in need where she would nurture and include them as part of her family. She was always there to lend a hand to others in need, and this always made her happy in return
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, cremation has taken place and a service will be held at a later date.
