Loving nurse had the touch of an angel
By Curtis RUSH,
Staff
Reporter
Catherine Kathleen
ISAAC was a modern-day Florence Nightingale
who not only treated patients but often attended to family members.
As a nurse,
ISAAC believed that illness could be fought on several
fronts, not just with medicine and surgery. A laugh, or smile
or a good deed seemed to be a ready cure.
She had an angel's touch, especially with her family, and whether
it was a cousin in a car accident or her ailing in-laws, she
put everyone's interests before her own.
"We relied on her strength and her caring nature," said daughter
Vera, who is also a nurse. "Her mother was like that."
In the end,
ISAAC's own body failed her. She died in her sleep
from a heart attack on October 22 at the age of 83.
Catherine KOZUB grew up in Thorold South, a town of about 250 people,
with five siblings, and the spirit of giving was commonplace.
"Everybody cared for one another and there were no exceptions,"
Vera said.
ISAAC's mother was a nurse, and
ISAAC wanted to follow in her
footsteps.
She graduated from Hamilton General Hospital in 1946, beginning
what would be a 40-year nursing career. She worked in various
departments, such as labour and delivery, and in the operating
room, in New York City, St. Catharines and Brampton.
In 1948, she married Charlie
ISAAC.
The owner of a Bolton car
dealership, he died in 1998.
Daughter Jo-Anne
COPELAND, another nurse, recalled how
ISAAC
was on hand when her sister Doris's 18-year-old son died in a
car accident in St. Catharines in 1963. Her mother was with Doris
and "gave great comfort" to her at a time of devastating loss.
When her brother Joe had a heart attack, she was there. When
her in-laws needed 24-hour care, she was there. And she helped
her own sisters when they were ill.
A distant relative, Esther
USICK, 72, of St. Catharines, recalled
the time, as a teenager, she had kidney surgery in Toronto. When
she went home following the operation, she was weak.
It was Catherine
ISAAC who came over to administer the Vitamin B12
shots that restored her to health.
"She always did something for everybody. Lots of kindness,"
USICK
said.
ISAAC had a heart attack about seven years ago, but that didn't
really slow her down.
But she also had spinal problems thatmeant she had to use a wheelchair.
"She was very fragile," Vera said of her mother.
ISAAC was too frail to attend the 60th reunion of her graduating
nursing class held in September. Of 100 nurses, only six remain.
But she was fondly remembered there, Vera said.
"One of the members of that class saw the death notice and made
her way down to St. Catharines to let us know how important Mom
had been," she said.
Although ISAAC had been living in the King Gardens retirement
home in Mississauga since 1999, she wasn't content to just sit
back, her family said.
Only a few weeks before her death, she was instrumental in raising
$2,000 for the Alzheimer's association through a fundraiser,
making jams and knitting scarves and other items for the craft
table.
At the home, she also organized movie nights and bingo nights
and used her artistic talents to paint ceramics.
One of her greatest pleasures was to create ceramic angels because,
as Vera said, "she felt she had angels all around her on the
inner plane so she wanted to paint them on the outer plane."
ISAAC would give them away to people and "they were like guardian
angels" for them.
She was also a prizewinning gardener and a prizewinning deep-sea
fisherwoman.
Her favourite sun destination was Antigua, and she had been going
there for more than 30 years. But on vacation, her caring nature
didn't take a break.
One year,
ISAAC met a woman who later became widowed with three
children. When the woman came to Canada for medical attention,
ISAAC volunteered to bring the children here and and care for
them.
They became like a second family and they referred to her and
her husband as "Auntie Kay" and "Uncle Charlie."
ISAAC leaves three children, Vera
ISAAC of Vernon, British Columbia
Jo-Anne COPELAND, of Oakville, and George
ISAAC, of St. Catharines,
and two grandchildren.
