Catherine was born in Gormley, Ontario. She married Donald Reaman May 16th, 1959, whom was the love of her life for 64 years. She was a housewife with many duties that came with living on the farm such as driving the tractor, milking cows, nursing baby animals back to life, all the while caring for her family. She loved to crochet, quilt, can and preserve, especially Grandma’s famous peaches, icicle pickle and relish, but her passion was music. Whether singing in a choir or with her trio or hearing music in her ear, she would hum any little tune. She always looked forward to breakfast with the Tractor Club, camping at Arkona, and Sunday drives with Donald, especially to see the fall colours. Although, her greatest joy was always her family. She will be remembered in the hearts of all who loved her.
Visitation was held at Palmerston Evangelical Missionary Church on Wednesday, November 15th from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. and Thursday, November 16th from 10:00 a.m. until time of the funeral service at 11:00 a.m. Interment was in Maple Grove Cemetery, Howick Township. A light lunch was provided at the church following the interment.
