Catherine Stewart

March 14, 1954 – September 18, 2023

It is with profound sorrow that the family of Catherine (Cathy) Theresa Stewart (née Kearns) announce her passing on Monday, September 18, 2023 at the age of 69 years.

Cathy was a remarkable woman who touched the lives of many people with her kindness, compassion, and selflessness. She enjoyed travelling, trying new restaurants, listening to good music, and spoiling her grandchildren. Above all, Cathy was tenacious and courageous. She fought a difficult battle with cancer over the past two years and always faced any setbacks with positivity, courage and faith. The strength that she exhibited serves as an inspiration for our lives moving forward.

Cathy is deeply mourned by her loving husband of 49 years, Colin; children, Christian (Kelly-Anne), Allison (Peter), John (Natalie), Adam; grandchildren, Tyler, Bryanna, Connor, Hannah; as well as numerous extended family members and friends.

Cathy was predeceased by her parents, Gerald and Aileen; and daughter, Kelly-Anne, and survived by her brother, Peter (Barbara) Kearns.

The family would like to express their gratitude to the medical staff at the Ottawa General Hospital for their care, compassion and support during this difficult time.
