Cathy was born in Renfrew on July 24, 1953 to the late Loretta and Gordon Leavoy. She was raised in Castleford.

She is also survived by brothers Arthur (Maureen Leitch), Braeside, Peter, Castleford and Tim of Renfrew. She is predeceased by brother Keith. Cathy was a special aunt to her many nieces and nephews.
Cathy studied nursing in Toronto and worked as a Registered Nurse in Pembroke for 30 years, dedicating her life to caring for others with compassion and patience. She touched countless lives throughout her career and left a lasting impression on many.
Cathy has always been the heart of her family; she was known for her gentle kindness, her incredible strength and the ability to make everyone feel special. Her home was always welcoming, full of warm hugs and affection. She loved to cook and to learn new kitchen techniques. She could often be found working outside in her beautiful flower gardens, hovering over a puzzle at her dining room table or knitting in her favourite chair. Cathy was a devoted mother, grandmother, sister and friend.
Cathy's family was her greatest pride and joy and the love she gave so freely will live on in all of them. She will be deeply missed, forever loved and always remembered.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday April 11th, 2026 at the Royal Canadian Legion in Eganville between 1:00 pm and 3:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Canadian Cancer Society.
