Obituary of CATHERINE SHERBO

CATHERINE (CATHY) SHERBO

It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that the family announces the sudden passing of Cathy Sherbo on Wednesday, September 12, 2018, at the young age of 63.

She is lovingly remembered by her cherished daughter Emily, brothers Roy (Monica); Dan (Laurel); nieces and nephews, as well as many cousins, friends and neighbours. She was predeceased by her beloved parents, Roy and Stella.

Cathy was born in Winnipeg on July 16,1955 and grew up in Transcona. She attended Radisson Elementary School, John Gunn Middle School, and Transcona Collegiate Institute before entering the faculty of Home Economics at the University of Manitoba. Cathy enjoyed school and excelled academically, obtaining her Master’s Degree in Science.  She worked at Lucerne and then at the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, where she continued to work until her retirement. 

Cathy’s greatest joy was her daughter, Emily.  They had a wonderful life, spending time together, playing games, travelling and just enjoying each other’s company.  Cathy’s love for her daughter was endless.  She was so proud of Emily’s many achievements.

Cathy’s faith was also very important to her and she was a member of Saint Joseph the Worker Parish.

Thank you to the staff at St. Boniface and Concordia Hospitals for their compassion and kindness during Cathy's final weeks.

Cathy, we will hold you forever in our hearts and will miss you dearly. 

Cremation has taken place. Mass of the Resurrection will be held at Saint Joseph the Worker Parish, 505 Brewster Street in Transcona at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday September 20, 2018.
