CATHERINE ROSE WARK (nee SCARROW) Surrounded by family, Catherine passed away peacefully on December 2, 2005 at Mount Nemo Nursing Home in Burlington, ON. She was greatly loved and will be sadly missed by her daughter Judy Neill (Sam) of Burlington; and son Gordon (Margaret) of Phoenix, AZ; grandchildren, Jeff, Debbie and Brad Neill, Melinda Parker (Blake) and Julianna Wark; and great-grandchildren, Delaney and Brady Parker. She is also survived by her sister-in-law Kay Douglas, many nieces and nephews, especially Audrey Jorgenson of Alberta and Leslie Douglas of Winnipeg who had a very special closeness with their Aunt Kay. She was predeceased by her loving and devoted husband William (Bill); sisters, Rita Krawchuk, Ruth Sawatzky, Irma Killins, brother Bill; and her companion Harold MacDonald. Catherine was born in Rathwell, MB, February 1, 1920, eldest daughter of William and Rose Scarrow and moved to Winnipeg in 1939. She started her career working at Eatons in the China Department. After her children were born, she returned to work and later became an EKG technician at the Winnipeg General Hospital. She then worked for the Federal Government until her retirement. She had been an active and dedicated member of the Ivy Rebekah Lodge for many years. Catherine was a skilled seamstress, enjoyed curling and golf as long as her health permitted, and derived much pleasure from travelling and the cottage. The funeral service will be held on Saturday, December 10 at 11:00 a.m., at St. Mary Magdalene Anglican Church at 3 St. Vital Rd. Interment will be at Chapel Lawn Memorial Gardens following a reception at the church. Many thanks to our Aunt Kay, niece Leslie Douglas, Harold's daughters, Leona Riske and Lila Goodspeed and their families for all their care and attention during the past few years. Appreciation is also extended to neighbours George and Mary Crayston, Sheila Mochoruk, and Doug and Jean Norris for their caring friendship. In lieu of flowers, if friends so desire, donations may be made in Catherine's memory to their charity of choice.
