Born in Globe, Arizona on October 19, 1927 to the late Fred and Helen {Wentzell) Kent. She moved with her family at a young age to Fort Ellis, NS. Catherine was very social, constantly involved with family, friends and community. Her career as Secretary at the N.S. Dept. of Agriculture was important to her. She loved outdoor adventures, road trips, music, live theater and art. She shared her enthusiasm for beauty and nature as an active member/volunteer with “Friends of the Garden” at Dal /AC. Here she made many lasting friendships. Never one to be idle, she spent countless hours cooking, baking, knitting, doing calligraphy and gardening. With her gracious generosity, Catherine truly spread joy, giving to others.
