Obituary of Catherine Mary Kennedy

September 25, 1930 – Calgary, Alberta

June 11, 2023 - Calgary, Alberta

 

An enthusiastic third-generation Calgarian, Catherine loved the city’s culture, and found beauty in its wild grasslands, mountains, and winters. Catherine skated professionally in her youth, skied, and walked in all seasons. In her dietetic career, she expanded the provision of healthful food in schools.

 

Catherine was attentive, affirming, and open, seeking the good in those she knew. She cherished her family – her husband Don, children Juli, Mary, Patrick and Hugh, in-laws Andrew, Beth and Terry, and grandchildren Jonathan, Michael, Flannery Una, Malcolm, Dylan, and Sean. And in the tradition of her parents and the bond Catherine enjoyed with her sisters Eileen, Mary, Theresa, and Florence, she cultivated layers of extended family and community. She embraced as family her loving caregivers Jenith, Analyn, Girlie, Shirley, Violy, Rose, along with prior providers.
