LOEBACH: Catharine Lynn

February 2, 2025 By 20 Condolences

LOEBACH: Catharine Lynn

After a long journey with dementia, Cathy passed away on February 2nd, 2025, three weeks shy of her 65th birthday.

Cathy was born in Scarborough on February 23, 1960 to David and Carole Noble. She leaves behind her husband, Dan, her daughters, Kimberley (Aaron) and Jackie (Eric), her grandchildren, Bailey and Henry, and her siblings, Debbie and Keith. She is predeceased by her son, Steve, her sister, Sandy, as well as her parents.

ย 
Cathy was an eccentric soul who always rooted for the underdog. She could connect with people in ways no one else could, never making anyone feel lesser than.

ย 
She was a trailblazer for women in athletics, championing many different sports in the 60s and 70s when it was โ€œnot ladylikeโ€ to do so. She wanted women to know they could do anything and instilled this belief in both of her daughters.

ย 
She was a lover of nature, whether it be spending her days in the garden or bringing in wildlife and stray animals. Her children fondly remember watching a tadpole transform into a frog and a caterpillar into a moth, and helping Hootie the owl heal.

ย 
As she would say, she is as free as a bird now. Reunited with her late son, Steve, her dear sister, Sandy, and all the dogs who brought her so much joy (Buddy, Sheena, Tito, and Tucker).

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to Huronview Home for the Aged or the Alzheimerโ€™s Society Huron Perth. The family will be celebrating Cathyโ€™s life privately at a later date.

    Cathy was a dear friend from back in our Saskatoon days. She loved people, was so caring and had a great sense of humour. Our paths parted after Saskatoon but I never forgot what a character she was with that infectious smile & laugh. My most sincere condolences Dan + her babies were the love of her life – truly. Rest in peace Cathy.

    So sorry for your loss. I remember Cathy as being such a creative, intelligent and fun person. As a kid, it was always a joy to visit her home that had multiple pets, art, forts and baking projects on the go. She was a beautiful person inside and out.

    To Dan and family so sad to hear the news of Cathyโ€™s passing. We remember Cathy as a free spirit full of joy and love for her family. She always reminded me of the singer Michelle Wright as she bore a strong resemblance to her. We will remember her laugh, her love of gardening and renovating homes as she was so good and talented at it. We wanted to express our sincere condolences to all of you at this difficult time. With much love โค๏ธ Earl and Senga Smith
