WINDSOR – Catherine Dawn Vigue, 90, passed away April 14, 2023 at Augusta Center for Health and Rehabilitation.

She was born March 21, 1933, a daughter of Leroy and Bessie (Hassan) Richards Sr. Cathy grew up in Windsor and was a graduate of Erskine Academy.

Following high school, she married Joseph Vigue, and the two remarried again in 2009. Cathy held various jobs throughout her life including waitressing and cleaning, but her primary work was being a mother.

Cathy was a doll collector, enjoyed crafts and sewing, and was an avid gardener. She canned the fruits of her labor and was known for her delicious jam and pickles.

Some of her favorite past times include day trips to Belfast, eating at her favorite restaurant, Anglers and browsing through the flea market with Joe. Joe also made sure the bird feeder was full so she could bird watch; and each spring he made sure she had pansies in her flower beds.

She was predeceased by her infant son, Joseph Vigue Jr.; her husband, Joseph Vigue; and her siblings, Leroy Richards Jr., Malcolm Hassan, and Marilyn Glidden.

She is survived by her children, Dawn Vigue, Sandra Jones, Scott Vigue, Todd Vigue, and Lisa Thrace; seven grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.

A graveside service will be held on April 25 at 1 p.m. at Mount Hope Cemetery, Winthrop St., Augusta.
