• Notes

  Surrounded by the love of her family, Catherine "Cathy" Margaret Kennedy (nee Bernier/Fries), passed peacefully at St Mary's hospital on June 8, 2021, at the age of 70. Left to mourn is her loving and devoted husband of 51 years, Dale, her daughters and son-in-laws Dawn and Mike Zuber, Deb and Phil Panchaud, and her dearest grandchildren, Alanna and Justin Zuber, Samantha and Jessie Panchaud. She will be missed by her sister-in-law and brother-in-law Carol and Jim Diebolt, a large extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins, friends and half-sister Pamela Bernier-Turner. Greeting her in heaven with open arms are her adoring mom and best girlfriend, Phyllis (nee Fries), beloved step dad Arlen Geiger, and her father, Delbert Bernier. Cathy was born in Kitchener in December 1950 weighing less then 2 lbs at birth. Always a fighter, she endured many years of discomfort, treatments, surgeries and living with Alzheimer Disease with courage and is now at peace with God. After graduating from Eastwood Collegiate, Cathy married her best friend and love of her life, Dale and had two amazing daughters. Cathy worked for 33 years at Zehrs Markets before retiring at 50. Above all, Cathy loved her family and cherished the time they spent all together. In the last 25 years she happily cared for and was ultra proud of her four grandkids. She enjoyed attending all of their events and special occasions. A special thank you to the 5th floor staff at St. Mary's Hospital for the care and kindness shown to Cathy and her family. Cathy's family will receive relatives and friends from 5 - 8 p.m. on Sunday, June 13, 2021 at the Henry Walser Funeral Home, 507 Frederick Street, Kitchener. A private service will be held at the funeral home with interment at Parkview Cemetery. Those wishing to attend Cathy's visitation must RSVP through the funeral home website or by calling 519-749-8467.
