May 30, 1965 – June 15, 2017

It is with great sadness that the family of Catherine (Cathy) Loreen Sereda announces her passing on June 15, 2017.  Cathy was born on May 30, 1965 in Thompson, Manitoba.  She was the youngest of eight children born to George and Evangeline Sereda.  Cathy graduated from the R.D. Parker Collegiate in Thompson in 1983.  She graduated from the Red Deer College in May, 1991 with a Rehabilitation Services diploma.  She was employed at various group homes in Red Deer before moving to Grande Prairie. It was there that she met Brant Bjur and where they raised three wonderful children.
Cathy was a very kind, loving and caring person.  Family was her number one priority. Whether it was friends or family, Cathy was always willing to help people. She had a passion for working with people with disabilities and assisting others as a Public Guardian Representative.  She loved all animals, but had a particular soft spot for her dogs. Cathy was also fun loving, with a great sense of humor and very much enjoyed live music.
Cathy will be lovingly remembered by her husband Brant, children George, Ronald and Jayden; brothers Brian, David, Gord [Leanne], as well as sisters Barb [Don], Brenda and Janice, along with numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.  She will be deeply missed by her many friends in Grande Prairie.  Cathy was predeceased by her parents, Evangeline and George Sereda, as well as her sister Debbie Sereda.  She was also predeceased by her beloved mother-in-law, Georgina Maine. 
There will be a celebration of Cathy’s life on Saturday, June 24, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. at the Church of Christ [9602 – 92 Ave].  Photos, condolences and memories may be shared by visiting the Bear Creek Funeral Home website: www.bearcreekfuneral.com
