Catherine Atkin

Catherine Longstaff Atkin left for her next adventure on October 30, 2021, just a week after her 92nd birthday. Catherine was born in Guelph, and raised her family in Leamington, but it was in Toronto that she was able to spread her wings.

She loved: her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren; nature (especially trees); baseball (especially the Blue Jays); singing and music; horse racing; butterflies; crosswords and the natural heath industry.

Catherine was one of the first sales reps for Purity Life and loved introducing people to natural products. She also loved learning, fueled by her endless curiosity and her interest in other people.

Her children, Greg with Carolyn, Jay with Mary-Maureen, Virginia with Keith, and Jacqui with Laurie want to thank Allison, Christina and all the wonderful staff at Christie Gardens for their loving care.

To remember Catherine, take a long walk and notice all the nature around you, or plant a tree and watch it prosper.
