It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, Grandma and friend after a 14 yr. battle with dementia. She was pre-deceased by her parents, Hugh and Catherine Watson. “Cathie” is survived by her loving husband, George Devlin, two children, Christopher Devlin (Claire Handley), Heather Lang (Richard Lang), and three grandchildren, Liam, Josh and Kalina. Cathie is remembered for her vivacious personality, love of family, depth of compassion, her appreciation of the arts, event coordinating, volunteering at the Queen
Alexander Centre for children with significant disabilities, teaching aerobics at the YMCA/YWCA, and her interest in dance. Happiness is knowing your recovery is complete, your soul is replenished and your path is renewed. May we all remember and rejoice in our memories of you.
A Celebration of Life will be held in the Sequoia Centre at McCall Gardens, 4665 Falaise Dr. Victoria, on Friday, Feb 27th, 2026 at 2p.m. with Life Tribute Celebrant – Laura Lee Parris officiating.
The family wish to thank the Special Care Unit at Age Care James Bay, who cared for Cathie over the last several years. We would also like to acknowledge Cathie’s private care aide, Arden, who gave the gift of companionship, love and respite support. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer Society of British Columbia.
Condolences may be offered to the family below.
