With broken hearts, Catharine’s family is mourning her loss following her peaceful passing at St. Joseph’s Health Centre on Tuesday, June 17, 2025 at the age of 86 with family at her side. Catharine was comforted with regular visits from her family both at St. Joseph’s Health Centre and Runnymede Healthcare Centre.

Catharine was born in Toronto, Ontario. Her father Nick was born in Greece and arrived in Canada in his early years. Her mother Nicoletta was born in London, Ontario, to parents of Greek origin. Catharine grew up in the Junction area of Toronto. In her early years, she enjoyed visits to the St. Lawrence Market with her Mom, ice skating, and playing volleyball.

Catharine felt the most joy spending time with family who she unabashedly and unconditionally loved. She had a passion for cooking, enjoyed the music of her favourite singers/crooners/idols, and loved when movies had a “they all went to the seashore” ending. She was unique in her own ways and her character drew the affection from all those who knew her.

Catharine is survived by her daughters: Anthea, Niki (Pat)
Grandsons: Mike (Jen), Chris (Camille)
Great-granddaughter: Cassie
Sister: Helen (Dan)
Cousins and her many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews
She is pre-deceased by her brothers and sisters-in-law: Bill (Helen), Peter (Helen)

We would like to express our sincerest thanks for the unwavering care and compassion to all of the staff that were involved in Catharine’s care recently at Runnymede Healthcare Centre and St. Joseph’s Health Centre, and in previous years, Princess Margaret Cancer Centre.
