THE passing of Cath Cunningham in May this year has left a significant gap in the left in Fife and one that will be hard to fill. The community, education and voluntary sectors in Fife, where Cath was a key figure for over four decades, will also be feeling the loss.
A Fifer born and bred, Cath was born into a loving working-class family that shaped her values for life. It was here that she developed her sense of the importance of community and an appreciation of solidarity across neighbouring communities.
This, coupled with an emerging rebellious streak, saw Cath join the Young Communist League in her teenage years. Cath was to remain a communist all her life and was proud to call herself a socialist, a communist and an internationalist.
