Born on Bell Island, Newfoundland to Tom and Lucy Flynn on May 26, 1939. The oldest of 8 children. There she met the love of her life, Gordon. They married and soon 4 children arrived and they moved to Toronto – the Lakeshore. Catherine was a teacher at St. Teresa’s Catholic School in New Toronto for 35 years. She loved teaching and fondly reminisced about many of her students over the years.

She was a wonderful mother who had a quiet strength and was resilient throughout her life. The role she loved the most was being Nana to her grandchildren. Her pride and joy – 6 of them attended St. Teresa’s under her wing where she could keep a close eye on them. These special relationships continued throughout her life.

Over the last few years, she enjoyed watching her family grow with 6 greatgrandchildren.

She will be missed. We know that her faith has been her strength throughout her life and she is watching us all with love from up above.
