Oh Cathy, where to begin. You were the cool aunt I never had. Not to say my aunts aren’t cool, but you were the kind of aunt to your nieces and nephews that you only see in movies, and I was incredibly lucky to have experienced that through being with Keegan. You were the kind of aunt that always makes fun the top priority, and would always be there for you when you most need it with no judgment. I am so lucky to have had the privilege of knowing you for the last 15 years of my life and will miss you dearly. Thank you for being my bonus aunt! 💕
I trust that you will have a nice oaked bottle of Chardonnay ready to go for the day we join you in the clouds. After all, it’s not goodbye, it’s see you later.

I would like to honour Cat by acknowledging that she lived a life of giving. Cat spontaneously brought comfort, peace and smiles to others, including strangers, who depended on her intellect, professional expertise and loving heart throughout her nursing career. She had a very unique, quirky, loving style about her.
We became neighbours, then friends, with that automatically inviting pull she exuded through kindness and laughter. We shared a lot of fun, as well as life’s bumps, bruises and continued laughter.
It is an honour and a comfort to call Cat my friend.
We will miss you much!
Godspeed doll face 🙏 🕊️

Words can not express how sorry I am for your loss. I know how much my mother and father loved having Cat to come visit and she always brought a smile to my face as well. I remember her looking after me as a child at times and the house was filled will laughter! She was awesome. Wish I could do more. Xx Derek Hardy

So sorry to hear this. It was always great to know that Cat was working in the ER. I knew things would run smoothly and that I would be entertained and supported. She will be missed.

I send my sincere condolences to the family, who I got to know in the Bolton days, and then Cathy in Mississauga when she would be at her Grandmas. What a gal! You all must be so sad to lose such a vibrant person. Much love to you all. Barb Mills, Bevs sister

I am very sad to learn of Kathy’s passing. I have not seen Kathy in quite some time but I will always remember her energy and bright eyed smile. My condolences to the McBean family for your loss.
Sincerely,

Cathy was indeed a kooky, fun-loving, force of life. She was not only a great nurse but also a great friend who taught me empathy, service to others and the ability to laugh at the human condition. Our ‘condition’.
I wish I could have been there more for her. Her soul is as bright as a candle - and hope to meet up with her light again somewhere in this vast universe. All my love, my dear friend.

I am so sad to hear this news. Cat was a force. She had a tough exterior protecting her heart of gold. She showed emense care and interest in her patient's and colleagues lives. She had a sense of humor that could carry you through a rough shift. She was a hard worker. I loved working along side her unforgettable energy. Rest in peace.

So sad to read of this. Ms. McBean was a valuable contributor to the health of others, in so many ways. She will be sadly missed by many.

Dearest Catherine, we only just recently met in October when I posted an ad to care for my father with Alzheimer's. You were so kind and caring to my father Drew. My mom loved having you at their place. I am so glad to have met you and you got to meet our family and our three boys, watching them play hockey. Thank you so much for all your help with dad till the end of January. You will be missed deeply. Rest in peace sweet Catherine.
