Passed peacefully with family by her side at the Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre on Thursday, December 7th, 2023 at the age of 47 years. Beloved wife of Mike for 19 years. Loving daughter of Maureen (née Murphy) and the late Thomas Morrissey (2008) and sister of Siobhain (Dan Lenihan). Daughter-in-law of Norman and Diane Pagan and sister-in-law of Brian (Shannon) Pagan, Maureen (Stephen) McLelland and Ken (Carlee) Pagan. Proud aunt of Nicholas (Sarah) Pagan, Sydney Pagan (Liam Landers), Erin Sirkka (Scott) and Kevin McLelland (Millana Marcon). Catherine will be sadly missed by extended family members and many dear friends.
Catherine grew up in Mississauga and spread her wings as a child during many summers with family in Ireland and England. She enjoyed many weekends with her sister competing as an Irish Dancer and had the ringlets of a perfect Irish lass. She attended the University of Western Ontario and York University, completing a Bachelor of Science degree. She thrived in the Pharmaceutical industry where she enjoyed the camaraderie of many cherished colleagues. She loved her furry friends Rex and Moose and was the proud Auntie of her nieces and nephews who enjoyed her company at the cottage in Bala and her Puerto Vallarta paradise. She loved walking the beach, enjoying a boat ride, sunny summer patios and evenings in front of the campfire listening to music with her husband Mike, and closest friends and family.
In keeping with Catherine’s wishes, cremation has taken place. A service will be held on Friday, December 15th, 2023 at 11:00 am at St. Martin of Tours Parish, 1290 McBride Avenue., Mississauga.
