Read More	Her music is one of the things she'll be remembered for - especially by surviving North Van seniors. For Suzanne Cates who died two weeks ago in her 81st year, making music was a life-long diversion. Entirely self-taught, she played at innumerable singalong sessions in a delightful style all her own and her talent brought particular pleasure to the North Van Senior Citizens' group, of which she was a "life member" well before she qualified by years. Her life was a full one in many other ways. She married into a pioneer family which is part of North Van's history, her husband Charles Cates (who died in 1960) serving as mayor of North Van from 1954 to 1958 after holding previous office as alderman. An untiring community worker in her own right, one of her keenest interests was the North Van PTA and a resulting close association with Queen Mary School during the 1940's when Charles McIntyre was principal. She also became PTA librarian for the province. She was a life member of the Vancouver Neurological Centre. Eventually an arthritic herself, she served for 4 years as a president of the of the Canadian Arthritis and Rheumatism Society (CARS) and for 2 as president of the Lions Gate Hospital Auxiliary of which she was again a life member. She had a term as president of the North Van Library and the special interest in maritime history, which she shared with her husband, earned her a seat on the board of the Vancouver City Museum. Along the way she and Charles raised 3 daughters, and she lived to know 6 grandchildren and 2 great-grandchildren. Service was the essence of Suzanne Cates' lifestyle. It brought both her and all those with whom she involved herself some rich rewards. Source: North Shore News, Feb 2, 1986.
