Cathy left Cape Breton by train for New York City in 1946. A few years later she moved to Brookline where she worked as a hairdresser until her retirement.

She looked forward to and loved visiting her home in Cape Breton each summer. In Brookline, her door was always open to her nieces, nephews and all their friends.
