February 8, 1932 – January 8, 2025
Cathrine passed into spirit to be reunited with her beloved husband Camille (Cam). They lived a happy and endearing life together in Vancouver, Ladner and Point Roberts, Washington.
Cathrine was born in Kamsack, Saskatchewan. She moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1949, after her beloved stepfather and beloved brother James passed into spirit within nine months of each other. She worked at Eaton’s Mail Order for two years and later moved on to Vancouver, where she was employed at Parsons Brown Insurance and later Continental Insurance until retirement.
She and Cam married in 1974 and bought their beautiful property in Point Roberts in 1975. Both she and Cam loved gardening and that became their lifelong ambition. Cathrine excelled in growing a large variety of roses which she photographed and made greeting cards with. Her greatest joy was in gifting them to family, friends and as donations.
She leaves stepdaughter Karen (Harry) Crosby, stepgranddaughter Breanne Smith, sister Faye Boulton, nieces Lori Day, Tracey (Brent) Boulton/Haynes, Karen (Tony) Tucker, nephew Kory Boulton and great nieces Rayelle, Kayla, Lehran, Alexandra and Audry, great nephew Cameron. Predeceased by parents Molly and Fred Chutskoff, brother James and sister Laara Kersley.
There will be a celebration of life on March 29 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. in the common room at 4753 River Road West, Ladner.
