I don't know if this is the right thing to do, and I'm so sorry if not.

catthiefkeith passed away today.

I know there are mumsnetters who know her know how amazing she is, and I just wanted to raise a glass to her memory on here, where she brought a smile to so many faces with her stories of her mad life.

Rest in peace lovely lady.

Alpaca - What a lovely idea. I've reported your post to HQ in hope that they will do this.

Horsemad · 19/08/2017 10:24

The recent tent one is still around I think.

CakeUpWall · 19/08/2017 10:24

Don't know what to say. Shit. Fuck.

Loved her.

Terrible news. RIP CTK. I had the pleasure of meeting her at a meet up once. A really lovely person. She was a good one. ☹️

TheHauntedFishtank · 19/08/2017 10:28

So sad, sleep tight CTK - you made the world a better place for being in it even if it was for far too damn short a while Flowers

WeAreEternal · 19/08/2017 10:28

What awful news to wake up to, she was such a lovely MNer.

My sincere condolences to her family and friends. Flowers

PandorasXbox · 19/08/2017 10:29

CTK's boat thread is still here. Just read it again. Such a lovely thread. Hard to comprehend all of this. Sad

Fucking meningitis....itbreally is a shitty thing to contract. I loved the suspicions that her neighbour had been in her house. I thought of her the other day as I hadn't seen her post for a while. Sleep well little lady we will miss you.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 19/08/2017 10:38

😢 Such very sad news, her threads we're always a joy, you just knew a great read was coming along !
Sleep tight, shine bright, lovely lady.🌹🐾🌹🐾🌹

So sad to hear this news. CatThiefKeith's posts shone with her sense of fun. Deepest condolences to her family and friends Flowers

RaspberryOverload · 19/08/2017 10:50

Thanks catthiefkeith and my thoughts are with her DH, DD and family/friends.

I've always had a chuckle when reading her posts, and I think it was the way she wrote as well as the predicament as well, that made her stories so memorable. So sad.

spiderlight · 19/08/2017 10:55

I think we definitely need a CTK section in Classics. I would also like to contribute to a tribute if that goes ahead @MrsKoala or donate to an awareness campaign in her name. She was a MN legend and her name really deserves to live on in some way.

MrsMeeseeks · 19/08/2017 10:57

So sorry to hear this. She will be missed.

Dragonflycushion · 19/08/2017 10:59

@spiderlight Meningitis Now allows you to donate in someone's name. I put her MN name and said she was from Mumsnet and I didn't know her real name.

SheGotOffThePlane · 19/08/2017 11:21

Incredibly sad to hear this Sad she was such a funny poster - I always smiled when I saw her name at the top of an OP because you knew it would be a good one.
I was one of the posters who phoned up her dickhead boss a few years back to wind him up when she was away for the afternoon.
She will be very sadly missed, thoughts and prayers to her family and friends Flowers

dementedma · 19/08/2017 11:22

A collection of her posts in classics would be lovely.

MrsKoala · 19/08/2017 11:25

Once i know when the funeral is i will start a thread for messages to be added to the tribute/flowers. Of course the family may ask for no flowers and donations instead to her favourite charities. So i'll keep you posted.

Also lets not forget how much she loved making the skin on her feet rot off. Perhaps we can all do a Footner thread and post pics of our feet as a tribute. I know she'd love that the minging cah!

MrsMarigold · 19/08/2017 11:29

Poor CTF, I remember her, sending love and condolences to her family, especially her children.

SumThucker · 19/08/2017 11:31

Oh my gosh, awful news Sad

RIP CTK, condolences to those who knew and loved her.

Groovee · 19/08/2017 11:32

So sad to hear 💔

GreengageJam · 19/08/2017 11:32

What horribly sad news. Sending my condolences to her family, friends and any mnetters who knew her. Flowers

OneOfTheGrundys · 19/08/2017 11:35

That is such a shock. She seemed a funny and warm person.
RIP. Flowers

sunnyhills · 19/08/2017 11:39

I've not read all 25 pages of this thread and this may have been suggested ,and may not be possible ,but I'm wondering if MNHQ could gather some of her threads together and message them to someone so that they could be printed off and saved for her family to read at some distant point in the future when things aren't so raw ?

She sounds so witty and lovely and kind and her posts seem to have reflected what she was like in RL .
