Cathy, the second of six siblings, was born in St. John’s Newfoundland and raised in the Goulds,  a small rural community south of St. John’s. She moved to Ontario in 1981 where she currently resides in Stoney Creek with her husband Ralph. Their blended family consists of four daughters, a son, three sons-in-laws, and five little blessings that call her Nanny. Writing down her story was initially meant to be a personal gift to her daughter in celebration of the twentieth anniversary of their reunion, but manifested itself into this heartfelt memoir.
