In Loving Memory of Catherine Alles
A Life of Love and Devotion
It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Cathy Alles, a beloved mother, cherished friend, and guiding light in the lives of all who knew her. Cathy departed peacefully on June 7th, at the age of 87.
Born on January 23rd in Stratford, Ontario, Cathy was a person of extraordinary warmth, boundless kindness, and unwavering strength. She dedicated her life to nurturing those around her, creating a legacy of compassion and love that will endure in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to know her.
Cathy was known for her love of dogs. She has owned several throughout her life. She was a talented piano player and was the organist at Gethsemane Lutheran Church for many years. Cathy was an avid reader. She spent spare time completing intricate cross stitch pictures.
Cathy was a member at Kingsville Golf and Curling Club where she loved curling and had many friends. She spent her summers at Cedar Island Yacht Club where she was a member with her husband, George. They went on many sailing adventures with close friends.
She was an active member at Gethsemane Lutheran Church in Windsor. Later membership was transferred to First Lutheran Church in Kingsville, where she widened her circle of friends.
Above all, she was a devoted mother to her sons, Paul, Stephen and Kevin, whom she loved with all her heart. Her family was her pride and joy, and she taught them the values of resilience, kindness, and unconditional love, leaving them with treasured memories that will sustain them in the years to come.
Cathy will be deeply missed by her family, including her husband George, whom she was married to for 67 years, as well as her children, Paul Alles, Stephen and Mary Ann Alles, Kevin and Janan Alles.
Her grandchildren include Katie Zadow (nee Alles), her husband Eric Zadow, Nathanael Alles, Madison Alles, fiancé Josh Kroeker and Spencer Alles, fiancé Keeya Braun.
She also had 6 beloved great grand children as well. She will be remembered by her sister, Donna English; and sister in law, Norma Campbell. Cathy was preceded in death by her parents Angus and Edna Campbell (nee Seebach) and her Brother Bruce Campbell (2022).
Her legacy lives on through the lives she touched through her kind heart and giving personality. Though the world feels dimmer without her presence, the memories of her radiant smile and her loving embrace will continue to illuminate the lives of those she leaves behind.
