Obituary of Jeanne CATTRAN

November 12, 1931 – Solina, Ontario
March 1, 2021 – Calgary, Alberta

Jeanne Cattran of Calgary, AB, passed away on Monday, March 1, 2021 at the age of 89 years. 

Jeanne was born on November 12, 1931 on a farm in Solina, ON to John and Isobel Reynolds. Jeanne grew up on the farm and went to school in the town of Bowmanville, ON.  She married her high-school sweetheart in 1952. 

Family was always at the centre of her life.  The many Reynolds and Cattran get togethers were her fondest memories through the years as kids came along and grew up. She and John lived in Shawinigan Falls, Sarnia, Oakville, Montreal and Halifax.  By far, Oakville was her favourite place and Jeanne spent her retirement years there, close to family.   The kindness and company of her sisters and nieces was a great joy for her. As it eventually became apparent that dementia was beginning, she moved to Calgary in 2014 to be closer to her son.  Her last few years were very difficult, and her family is deeply grateful to the many health care workers at St. Teresa and at Garrison Green care facilities who brought so much positivity and love in those trying final years.   
 
Jeanne was a caring and devoted mother, taking great pride in her family and her home. With her passing, the greatest ever Yorkshire pudding is now lost forever, as well as many other amazing dishes that she perfected. She was a life-long football fan; weekends were usually spent watching her favourite players, Tom Brady, followed quite distantly by her son, her brother and her former husband John.  
 
Jeanne will be remembered as a generous and loving person and will be dearly missed.

She is survived by sisters, Ruth and Fae; children Laurie and Andrew; and grandchildren James, Noah and Hannah. She was predeceased by her parents and brother Arthur.  

A funeral service will be held in Ontario at a later date. Condolences, memories and photos may be shared and viewed on Jeanne’s obituary at www.McInnisandHolloway.com. In lieu of flowers or donations, in memory of Jeanne, please call or visit your mothers and grandmothers.
