CATHERINE LOUISE YOUNGER Its with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Catherine Younger on Sunday, December 14, 2003 at the age of 71. She will be sadly missed by her sister Shirley (Don) Ross of Burlington, ON; brother-in-law Murray (Marilyn) Younger of Calgary, AB; son Jeff; daughter Shirley (Allan) Proskin; and grandchildren, Abby and Wyatt. Catherine was predeceased by her husband Gordon in 1998. Mom was a very active person for most of her life. She spent her winters downhill skiing well into her early 60s. In the summer she enjoyed cycling and golfing. She managed to continue golfing until 2000, even though her Alzheimers was already a big part of her life by then. It was her feisty spirit that carried her through her struggle with Alzheimers and her other recent health issues. Above all, Mom was a very kind and caring person. She very much liked to help others and was always available to fix someones bike or drive them to an appointment. Were really going to miss you Mom. Our family would like to thank the staff of both the Grace Hospital and the Charleswood Care Centre for their wonderful care and compassion.
