Obituary for Catherine Ann Silverstein
St. Albans - With great sadness we announce Catherine’s sudden passing in St. Alban’s, Vermont. She leaves behind her three greatest loves, her children, Rob Rappolt, Catrina and Levi Silverstein, and her longtime partner, Michael Curtis. She is the much-loved daughter of Bob and Ann Bennett of Campbellford, Ontario, and sisters, Susan (Stephen McAllister) and Janet (Colin McKelvie). She will be greatly missed by the extended Bennett, Witthun, Rappolt and Silverstein families. Catherine’s studies of Music and Industrial Relations at McGill were continued through her work with non-profit organizations and singing in the church choir. She loved being active outdoors, whether running, skiing, sailing or swimming. When weather forced her inside, cooking, baking and loving others filled her life. We will remember Catherine’s huge capacity for love (particularly for stray animals!), her effervescent personality, and her tremendous voice. Everyone knew who the tiny blonde woman walking the giant black dog (who really appeared to be walking her) through the streets of St. Albans was. Never without a smile on her face, she was there to lend a helping hand to whoever needed it, always maing sure that everyone around her was all right. A memorial service will be held Monday Sept. 29 at 11am at the First Congregational Church of St. Albans, with Rev. Charles Purinton, Jr. officiating. In lieu of flowers, we ask that donations be made to The First Congregational Church Choir, 27 Church Street, St. Albans, VT. 12840515
