Beloved wife of the late James Norman Fenton.

Cherished mother of Michael (deceased) and his wife Monica, David and his wife Dimi (deceased), Jo Ellen, and Jennifer (Jason).

Pound grandmother of Krystal (Pat), Jason, Eleni, Madeleine, and Harrison and great grandmother of Bria, Alexa, Madison, and Jason Michael.

Dear sister-in-law of William and his wife Frances (deceased), John (deceased) and his wife Estelle, and McKinley and his wife Diane. Catherine was born August 9, 1937 in Toronto.

She was an only child to parents Peter and Audrey Harvey. Catherine’s early years were shaped by her father’s overseas military service during the Second World War.

She attended St. Joseph’s College School and became an independent young woman.

Catherine’s greatest treasure was her family. Catherine was blessed with a marriage of 63 years to her late husband James. She was a devoted homemaker to her children.

Catherine and James settled into retirement life in the beautiful town of Port Perry. She will be remembered for her faith in God, her witty sense of humour, and her love of dogs. May her Irish eyes keep smiling down upon us all!
