Obituary of Catherine Anne Douglas

 Douglas, Catherine Anne (nee MacPhee)

 

Cathy passed away peacefully at home on June 17th surrounded by her loving husband and children in her 68th year after a long and courageous battle. She will join her infant daughter Meagan (1986)  in Heaven. Cathy will be deeply missed by her life long friend and  husband Jeff  of 48 years. Cathy will also be deeply missed by daughters  Katie (Shawn) of Tottenham,  Brittany (Craig)  of Fort Erie, sons Brandon(Will) of Burlington and Michael (Brandi) of Fort Erie. Very proud Nana to Tanner Muirhead, Lily Muirhead, Landen Douglas, Cali Huzarski, Blake  Douglas,  Addison Huzarski and Sloan Douglas.

 

Also missed  by her brothers  Tom (Marsha) MacPhee and Bill MacPhee.  Survived by her brothers in laws  Jim (Pam), Jake (Melissa) and Barry (Liz) Douglas.

 Joining her parents Anne and Bill MacPhee and brother Jack. Also predeceased by mother and father in law Jean and Babe Douglas.

 

Cathy was a very dedicated mother and Nana. Her family came in front of everything in her life. She became a “Douglas” very early “dating” Jeff at the early age of 13 and never looked back. She was well known for her beautiful gardens and immaculate lawns and was loved by all who knew her.  She always wore a  smile and even to the end had stunning bright nails that you couldn’t help but notice when she was around. Cathy provided laughs for many right to her passing.

 

Thank you to Drs Scher, Vandermeer and Chum as well as the  St Catharine General Hospital oncology teams. The family is also grateful to the Bayshore home care PSW’s , St Elizabeth palliative care nurses for all their exceptional care and support, keeping Cathy comfortable at home.

 

God saw you getting tired . A cure was not to be

So he put his arms around you.  And whispered “come with me”

With tearful eyes we watched you. And saw you fade away

Although we loved you dearly.  We could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating. Your tender hands at rest

God took you home to prove to us.  He only took the best.
