HERON, Catherine Elizabeth (nee Floody) - (March 26, 1920  — July 17, 2020)

Catherine passed peacefully in her sleep after a long (100 years!) and happy life. 

She was predeceased by her husband Dr. Jack Heron and her only sibling, her brother Wally Floody and his wife Betty.

Catherine is survived by her nephews, Wally's sons: Brian and Richard, Brian’s wife Lorraine and their children Dylan and Claire and Richard’s wife Jan and their children Luc and Jessica, as well as many of her lifelong friends.

Catherine was a registered nurse at the former East General Hospital.

She particularly loved her time on the maternity ward caring for newborns.

She grew up, worked and lived in Toronto before retiring to Cannington, Ontario. She worked for, and supported many charities as well as tirelessly volunteering for numerous organizations. 

No matter what hardship came along, she reminded you to count your blessings and be grateful for what you have. And we truly were so fortunate to have Catherine in our lives. She taught us to be loving, kind and gracious and to always keep a fresh pack of cookies within reach on your bedside table.

She will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed.

Catherine’s family would like to thank the staff of Ina Grafton Gage Home for their kindness and care. 

Donations can be made in Catherine's name to the charity of your choice.
