September 16, 1918 - January 30, 2014
Marjorie Cathcart (nee Hand) passed away peacefully on Thursday, January 30th at the age of 95. She is lovingly remembered and survived by sons Wayne (Betty Anne) Cathcart and Ron (Mary) Cathcart as well as daughter-in-law Gail Cathcart, 9 grandchildren Laura (Rutger) Niers, Donna (Eric) Dozois, Carey (Blair) Derkachenko, Doug Cathcart, Jeff (Teena) Cathcart, Jason (Nikki) Straker, Jennifer (Glen) Cey, Brittany Cathcart and Brent Cathcart as well as 13 great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband Leonard and her youngest son Lloyd. Marjorie was born and lived the majority of her life in the Perdue district. She was the last surviving member of a family of 9 children. It was on the farm south of Perdue that she and husband Leonard raised their 3 boys before moving into town. Eventually, to be closer to family and grandchildren, Grandma moved to Saskatoon. Moving to the city didn't slow her down; in fact we believe that she became busier! The last number of years Marjorie resided at Oliver Place where she made many wonderful friends and was involved in a multitude of activities. The family would like to express their sincere thanks for the amazing care and compassion that Grandma received while on the 6200 ward at RUH. A celebration of Marjorie's life will be held on Wednesday, February 5th at 2 pm in the chapel of Saskatoon Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations in Marjorie's memory may be made to the Leney Cemetery or the Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis Foundation. Email condolences may be sent to mail@saskatoonfuneralhome.com Arrangements entrusted to Saskatoon Funeral Home and Prairie View Chapel and Crematorium. (306)244-5577
