RichardN Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) I am not sure where to post this, adding a reply to Catherine's / WIndfola's last topic seems the best place I have just heard that Catherine died on the 19th at her home. Her funeral is on Friday 14th at Banbury Crematorium at 3pm. I am sorry but, other than contact details for a friend who is sorting out her affairs, I have no further information though I see from another forum that Beren and Cally, her two greyhounds, have been re-homed. Very sad. Rest peacefully Catherine. Edited October 11, 2011 by RichardN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty40s Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Oh - - - what a shock I hope her passing was peaceful and painless I too am shocked, in her short time here, she was a valued forum inquisitor and member. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 That is a real shocker - I was thinking about a few folk recently who haven't posted on here for a while but admit to not clocking she was one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I know Richard posted here but worth I think a thread in it's own right as it will possibly/likely get missed there by a lot of folk - so I hope you don't mind Richard me duplicating here. It's a rare event for an active forum member to pass away as far as I know. Her posts always instigated a lot of discussion and debate always 'inquisitive' as Matty40 puts it in the other thread and she always seemed to take on board advice that was offered. So young as well at just 45 - a real shame she will not, as Ange says, achieve her dream of owning a boat. A timely reminder to live for today.

debbifiggy Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Sorry to read this. Sad her lovely dreams won't happen RIP Windfola, over the Rainbow Bridge. So sorry to hear this news. It certainly makes you think, she was the same age as me. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Richard's post last night, and like you, thought she deserved a topic of her own. She was one of the more enigmatic members of this forum, but I enjoyed her contributions and I am sorry to hear of her passing. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan_fincher Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yes, sad indeed, and although I didn't know Catherine, somehow still very shocking. As others have said, she certainly came across as someone one would have looked forward to meeting - what a very great shame that another never got to live their dream.

MtB Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 (edited) Yes rest in peace Catherine. I find this upsetting beyond all reason, having never met her or even chatted with her directly on the boards. She seemed like the sort of person I would have liked in real life, from her posts. Do we know if she was ill, or how/why she died? (Edited to correct a spelling mistake which made a sentence make no sense.)

Guest wanted Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Very sad news, I valued the honesty of her posts immensely, Catharine had a brilliant insight into mental health issues which demonstrated both compassion and understanding. I didn't know her personally but shocking none the less. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrumpylurcher Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Very sad news indeed, its always a shock when you hear of someones death, but to one so young and with so many dreams, it seems even more tragic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlt Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Do we know if she was ill, or how/why she died? It would appear, from posts in other forums she frequented, that she may have taken her own life, following her house sale falling through.

churchward Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 It would appear, from posts in other forums she frequented, that she may have taken her own life, following her house sale falling through. Oh no that is terrible news. I enjoyed her posts but didn't know her or ever met her but I do feel a loss. I hope she is at peace now and her family and those that do know her can also find some after what at the moment will be a very difficult time.

Athy Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 There would have been another house buyer, and another boat. She must have been in a fragile or altered psychological state for an event like that to have affected her so deeply. From what I have gleaned, she had much to look forward to. She spoke of attending the Banbury canal day; did she? Did anyone from this forum ever meet her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
