CATHERINE MUIRHEAD CAMPBELL
(née MCCLOUNIE)
She was predeceased in 1999 by her loving husband, Iain.
Catherine, also known as Kay or Katie, was the second youngest of seven children and the first girl after five boys. She grew up in Glasgow and during high school she joined Kings Park Athletic Club where she met her future husband, Iain. They married and immigrated to Montreal in 1953 where they stayed for eight years. During that time, her oldest three daughters were born - the first two being twins.
Her husband's career moved the family through several provinces and the United States. While living in Indiana, Kay's fourth daughter was born, followed by a move to upstate New York and a fifth daughter.
Finally, the family moved to Winnipeg where she has lived ever since. Kay was a stay-at-home mom volunteering in her community at the CNIB, Deer Lodge and Nearly New. She went to work at the University of Manitoba when her youngest daughter was 14. As an executive secretary to the Director of Libraries, Kay made many lifelong friends. She was known in her Charleswood neighbourhood as Laddie's Mom, her four-legged, Bichon Frise companion of 14 years. Kay was a longtime member of St. Charles Country Club and enjoyed many years there with her husband and friends. She was also a longtime member of Charleswood United Church.
Kay is survived by her five daughters: Janet Mears (Paul, Alex and Sean), Sharon Konyen (Fred and Keith), Carol Borse (Gary, Daniel and Jeffrey), Sheena Campbell (Kris and Janna) and Sheona Campbell (Trevor). Kay was very proud of her six grandchildren, one great-grandson (Bentley Peyton), and her granddog, Howard.
The family would like the thank the staff at Riverview Health Centre and the WRHA Palliative Care Program (Monique and Alicia) for their care and compassion.
Kay's funeral service will be held on Thursday, August 8, 2019 at 11:30 a.m. in Charleswood United Church, 4820 Roblin Blvd., Winnipeg, MB.
In lieu of flowers, Kay would appreciate a donation to Canadian Cancer Society, Riverview Health Centre or a charity of your choice.

I am sad to hear of Kay's passing. Many, many years ago she welcomed me to her Saturday golf group, which continues to this day. We could always count on her to be there and I have missed her quiet presence and the shared enjoyment of the game. - Posted by: Sharon Mould (Friend) on: Aug 08, 2019

So sorry to hear of Kay’s Passing. I golfed with Kay in her ladies Thursday group. She played a beautiful game. I was always in awe of how far she hit that ball. Kay always asked how my kids are doing especially James. We always enjoyed our time together. Going to miss her. - Posted by: Cheryl Albrechtsen (Friend) on: Aug 07, 2019
