She leaves to mourn her passing six sons; Jim (Eileen), Roger, Ralph, Harold (Lynn), Randall and Richard (Suzie), one daughter Brenda (Lavern) Buchert, six grandchildren, six great grandchildren and two brothers Alan (Marjorie) and Norman (Rosemary) Dalsto.
Although Catherine was born in Dundas, Ontario, her family home was in Cereal, AB. After completing her high school in Cereal, Catherine moved to Calgary to continue her education at Henderson Business College. Catherine and Jim were married in 1942, living in Cereal, Scandia, Onefour and then settling in Lethbridge in 1964. Catherine was a valued employee at the YWCA and The Lethbridge Housing Authority.
