We great sadness we announce the passing of Catherine Larose, who passed away on September 8, 2023, at the age of 45. She was the daughter of Fernand Larose and Jocelyne Coulombe, and the wife of Martin Sampson. She is survived by her stepchildren, Alexandre and Catherine Sampson (Leonel Cuero); her grandchildren, Lukas and Eduardo Cuero Sampson; her brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law and their children, aunts and uncles, godchildren, cousins, as well as many friends and colleagues.

Catherine loved meeting new people and discovering new places, whether it was for a coffee, a meal out or travelling to any destination. In addition to working for the federal public service since 2001 in human resources, where she left her mark through her dedication and enthusiasm, she volunteered with Tel-Aide Outaouais and became very involved in raising awareness of lung cancer and the importance of research to find new treatments. She has also been involved with a number of lung cancer organizations, including Lung Cancer Canada, the White Ribbon Project, Wellspring Canada and the Lungevity Foundation. Despite the terrible diagnosis of lung cancer in November 2020, Catherine never stopped believing in life, smiling as only she could, thinking of others, and radiating energy and exemplary courage.

The family wishes to thank the Centre d'oncologie de Gatineau and the palliative care team at the Hull Hospital, as well as all those who cared for Catherine over the past three years.

The family will receive condolences on Saturday, September 23, 2023 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Beechwood National Memorial Centre, 280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, September 24, 2023, at 10 a.m., at the same location.

At Catherine's request, your sympathy can be expressed through a memorial donation to support lung cancer research through her friend Jillian Kingston's fund at https://supportthepmcf.ca/PDPMemorial/jillianlungcancerlegacyfund/ and/or the Guy Lafleur Fund at https://fondationduchum.com/fonds-guy-lafleur/

Chers Martin, Jocelyne, Fernand, Cathou et Alex, je vous offre mes plus sincères sympathies en ces moments éprouvants. Catherine, ma belle amie, celle que nous aimions toutes et tous, est partie rejoindre la lumière après avoir livré le combat de sa vie. Quelle guerrière elle fut! ❤️

Au cours de sa vie, elle a marqué tant de gens par sa gentillesse, son grand cœur, mais aussi sa douce folie. Son rire et ses nombreuses mimiques et intonations sont gravées dans ma tête. Elle me manque déjà et me manquera toujours. J’ai tant de souvenirs avec elle depuis notre rencontre en 3e année. Je les chérirai pour toujours. ♥️

Je pense à vous toutes et tous. Bon courage Xox 🩵

La distance étant ce qu'elle est, c'est en pensée que je serai avec vous tous la fds prochaine. Catherine restera un exemple de résilience pour moi. Et oui, c'est vraiment injuste de partir si jeune! 😥

J'ai été l'adjointe de Catherine à 2 reprises. Une personne aimante, souriante, drôle.
Je vais garder de très beaux souvenirs d'elle. Mes sympathies à Martin et à tous ceux affectés par cette triste nouvelle. Repose en paix, ma belle Catherine.

I'm so deeply sorry to hear of Catherine's passing. We were colleagues at the Privy Council Office for a time and she was an incredibly supportive and kind person. Her laugh was infectious and she was so generous with her time. I really enjoyed working with her and getting to know her. She will be incredibly missed. Thinking of everyone who loves her in this difficult time.
