1931-2021
Cathy passed away peacefully, on February 7, 2021. Predeceased by her husband of 56 years, Arthur Cousens. She will be greatly missed by her children Nancy (Greg), Gary (Elizabeth) and Sharon (Steven); her grandchildren Victoria (Bruce), Jamie (Nikki), Brittany (Justin) and Morgan (Wayne); and her great grandchildren Charlotte, Blake, Addilyn, Zachary and Jordan. The last several years were happily spent in the company of her partner, Joe Whiteley, at the Village by the Arboretum. Cathy expressed many times what a wonderful life she has had and how fortunate she was to have had all the family and friends that brought so much joy.
Heartfelt thanks to Norfolk Manor for the care and support they gave Cathy in the last few months of her life as well as to the kind staff on 5 West at the Guelph General Hospital.
