ASPINELL, Catherine Margaret (nee McBeth), passed peacefully with family by her side, after a brief illness at PRHC on Friday, November 29, 2024 at 90 years of age. Catherine, beloved wife of the late Ron Aspinell.  Loving and devoted mother of Ross Garland (Kim), and predeceased by her sons Deane and Scott. Cherished “Gra Gra” (Grandmother) of Katie Brown (Shawn), the late Scott Garland, and Great Gra Gra of Dean Scott Brown. Remembered lovingly by her niece Jill McBeth. Predeceased by her sister Jeanne Krysko and her niece Jacqueline Bahre.

Catherine was born in Winnipeg’s West Kildonan in 1934. At an early age she showed a passion for reading, singing and piano which led to several appearances on local television. Up to her final days, Catherine would read a book a day. Over the course of her life, she was a caring, giving, and helping daughter, wife, mother, aunt, foster-mom, and friend to many. As she would say, “strangers are just friends you haven’t met yet”. Her happiest moments came from spending time in thoughtful conversation with family and friends. Her wisdom, enthusiasm, and great care for others shined through every day and in every interaction with others. After spending many years visiting Peterborough for family visits and special occasions, Catherine moved to Peterborough in 2021 to be closer to her family. She cherished every moment with family and kept in close touch with her friends in Winnipeg. Just before going to be with the Lord, Catherine told her family not to worry and that she was taking much love with her.

Relatives and friends are invited to Catherine’s Funeral Service in All Saints Anglican Church, Peterborough ON, on Saturday, December 7th, 2024 at 1:00pm. The Reverend Samantha Caravan officiating. A light luncheon will follow in All Saints Parish Hall. In memory of Catherine, donations to the All Saints Food Program would be appreciated by her family.
