Catherine “Cathy” Jane Cameron

November 27, 2024

1943 – 2024

Cathy passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 27, 2024 at St. Joseph’s Hospice in London, surrounded by loving family and caring staff. We cherished quality time with her following a cancer diagnosis in 2021 and recent recurrence. Cathy was predeceased by her older sister Wilma MacPherson, and will be deeply missed by her loving husband Fred Cameron, children Jena (Adrian) and Blair (Jackie), sister Muriel Garland, brother Blair Craven, four loving grandchildren, family and many cherished friends.

Born in Sydney, NS, Cathy met and married her love, Fred, in Halifax. They later moved to Ottawa, then Ajax, and finally London in 1981. Cathy earned a Master of Social Work and touched the hearts of many with caring support throughout a 20-year career in perinatal social work at St. Joseph’s Hospital, London.

Cathy had a special wisdom, grace, and ever-positive outlook. She loved hosting friends and family in her beautiful home, enjoyed travel adventures with Fred, sought challenge in retirement with SLR group, and enjoyed many special friendships, including her beloved book club of 20+ years. We are lucky to have had in Cathy a wife, mother, and friend who loved us so deeply.

A Celebration of Life will be conducted at Westview Funeral Chapel, 709 Wonderland Road North, London, on Friday, December 20, 2024, at 3:00 p.m., with a visitation from 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. Anyone who wishes to make a donation in memory of Cathy are invited to consider St. Joseph’s Hospice.

Cathy was a truly wise woman who was genuine, authentic, kind, caring and a great help to staff and families of the perinatal area and beyond. We relied heavily on her and our other social workers and she was sorely missed after her retirement. We had many discussions about Cape Breton and the importance of family. She always spoke highly of Fred and her kids. It is hard to imagine a world without Cathy in it but her memory and beautiful smile will be carried by all of us that knew her! Rest in peace lovely lady. Your memory is a blessing to me!💔😢
