(October 8, 1957 – November 14, 2020) It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Catharine Ambrose (nee Neale) on November 14th, 2020 at the age of 63. Catharine was many things to many people. Above all, she will be fondly remembered as a kindhearted friend and doting mother who loved her children unconditionally. She was an adoring mother to Ashton (Joanna), Chelsea (Joel), Devon, and her youngest, Julian, who predeceased her. A devoted wife to Peter, with whom she shared 40 years of treasured memories. She was also a cherished grandmother to Carter and Zoe; and a proud aunt to Geoff, Violet, and Aaron. Born to the late Helen (nee Castle) and George Neale, she was the youngest of three siblings; a caring and wise little sister to David and Stephan (Jane). Catharine dedicated her life to helping others as shown by her career as a registered nurse. She was known for her generosity and kindness; was always able to put a smile on your face, and will forever be remembered as the kindhearted, incredible woman she truly was. We are hoping to organize a celebration of Catharine’s life on October 8, 2021 – what would have been her 64th birthday. We will share more details as soon as possible.
Peter, I was very saddened when I heard of Catherine’s passing. Thinking of both you and her has brought back so many happy memories of getting together at your place in Dundas many years ago. I always enjoyed working with Catherine as she was always so cheerful and her sense of humour would always put me in a good mood. She was a great mentor and friend as were you. Hoping to see you at her celebration of life in October.
Warmest Regards, John Principato.
