Catherine Shirley (Ross) ZORN. March 10th, 1935 - December 25th, 2015. Kay was born March 10th, 1935 in a small hamlet called Oak Point, New Brunswick. She received her junior education in a small school at Oak Point and then attended school at the Miramichi High School at Newcastle, N.B. and upon graduation, went into training to be an R.N. She received her training at the Miramichi Hospital and the Montreal General Hospital and graduated in 1953. While in training in the Miramichi Hospital, she met Doug Zorn a young member of the R.C.M.P. who was stationed in Newcastle and they fell in to a lasting love and were married on June 21st 1958 in Burnt Church, New Brunswick. At the time Doug was stationed at St. John, N.B. and after a short honeymoon she started working for the Victorian Order of Nurses. In the fall of 1958, Kay and her husband were transferred to Melville, SK. Through the series of many transfers, Kay nursed at the North Battleford Native Hospital, Meadow Lake, Humboldt, Esterhazy, Biggar and North Battleford Hospital for five years, and retired after ten years as the director of nursing at Meadow Lake. Kay is survived by her husband Doug of 57 and a half years, three daughters, Kelly (Murray) DICKSON, Lynn (Seppo) BELCHER and Nancy ZORN (partner; Lloyd Culbert), five grandchildren; Meighan, Caitlin, Richard, Samantha and Laura. Six great grandchildren; Hannah, Ethan, Seppo, Sofia, Jacob and Aj(Adrian Jackson). Her great joy was spending time at the cabin on Jeanette Lake and spending time with friends. Her greatest joy was having family members around. Kay was a very compassionate and social person who loved to have coffee with friends and she loved to play bridge. When nursing she had great compassion for her wards and made every effort to visit each and everyone every day to check on their welfare. She was a true Florence Nightingale in living the code in looking after those vested in her care. A memorial service was held on December 30th at the Alliance Church in Meadow Lake and conducted by Dr. Merv JOHNSON. Catherine has been cremated and her ashes will eventually be laid to rest in the columbarium at the R.C.M.P. Police Cemetery in Regina, SK.

God knew that she was suffering
That the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed her weary eyelids
And whispered, "Peace be thine."
Away in the beautiful hills of God,
By the valley of rest so fair,
Someday, we know not when,
We will meet our loved one there.
