Catherine J. Everett

With sadness, the family announces the death of Catherine Jayne (Adam) Everett
(1952-2023), who passed away under the care of the Palliative Care Team at the
Freeport Hospital, Kitchener, ON, on Friday, Jan 6th, 2023.
Cathy was predeceased by her parents, Bill and Mollie (Hornsby) Adam and older
brother, Brian Adam (Maureen). She is survived by her partner, Martin Liegis; son,
Cameron Everett; daughter, Lesley White (Rob); and sister, Judithe Adam-Murphy
(Greg) and extended family members.
Cathy leaves a legacy of a woman who worked tirelessly in the nutritional and
health care fields. It was in the health care field where she excelled, due to her
ability to relate to people in need. Having worked as a nursing team member in
addictions, at the Homewood Health Care Centre, Guelph, for just over 30 years,
she brought insight, a quick wit, sense of humour and a set of expressive eyes,
that was appreciated by both staff and patients.
She also leaves behind a footprint of a mother who nurtured her children
throughout their lives, offering her unwavering love and support, as well as a
young step grand-daughter, in whom she delighted. She will also be remembered
as an animal lover; always having a pet since childhood.
As Cathy's family, we give thanks to the many health care professionals who over
the years, worked to give her the best quality of life, while she fought the battles
of illness. With grateful hearts, we also thank her many friends who have become
our friends as well.
Cremation has taken place and according to Cathy's wishes, there will not be a
formal goodbye for her. Instead, she wanted all of us to look ahead to a time
when she will be waiting to greet us with open arms and a big smile of welcome.
In Cathy's memory, a donation may be made to Kidney Foundation of Canada -
London and District Chapter or an animal rescue of your choice.
