It is with immense sadness that the family announces the passing of Catherine (Cathy), Alice, Louise Colville (nee Wrigley)

At 75 and after a lengthy fight with cancer Cathy passed away peacefully with her son Todd by her side. On a beautiful sunny morning with the birds singing and eating from the feeder outside her window of the Hospice Simcoe in Barrie Ontario Thursday May 7th, 2026

Deeply adored by all who knew her, Cathy is survived by her husband Andrew (Andy) Colville and her sister-in-law Kelso. Preceded in death by her parents Marjorie Martin (nee Spencer) and Jack Wrigley and also her first husband Ron (Pete) Craig.

Cathy's greatest treasures will always be her family and her legacy of kindness will continue to inspire all of her "children". Her sons Todd Craig (Erin) and Ryan Craig. Her grandchildren Sandra, Dylan, Candice, Shelby (Davis) and Tori. Her great grandchildren Travis, Tundra, Emelia, Mya, Erika and soon to be announced new baby girl. Her brothers are, Tom Martin (Debbie) and Reid Martin who passed away before her. Also, her brothers David Wrigley and Gord Wrigley (Janice)

Cathy has a vast and beautiful family. With many nieces and nephews, grand nieces, and grand nephews. Her partner in crime and not ever to be forgotten is her niece Lincoln (Lucas)

Cathy was a master hairdresser and worked, as well as taught in the industry. She made a lasting impression on her co-workers as well as her "children" that trained under her. She was fiery and fiercely compassionate about what she knew and enjoyed sharing these gifts with all.

Cathy loved all animals and TV shows about them. She had a horse named Ginger as a young girl. And over the course of her life, she had many dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, gerbils, lizards, fish etc.. She had an even wider array of plants than she did animals. She loved to make and create knitting as well as crochet projects and share them freely. She loved NASCAR and hated some drivers as much as she loved others. Cathy liked to go on beach vacations and loved the sun no matter where she was.

You will always be remembered with love and laughter, forever in our hearts until we meet again.

The family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the kind, caring staff, and volunteers at the RVH cancer center and also the warm, thoughtful staff and volunteers at Hospice Simcoe. As well as Sheila Perri for her visit and haircut.
