In loving memory ~

With great sadness, the family announces the passing of their wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother on September 11, 2024, at the North Okanagan Hospice House in Vernon, BC. Predeceased by husband, Jack and daughter Jolaine.

She is survived by her husband Patrick and children, Cheryl (David), Denise (Rudy), Michael (Katie), John (Laurel), as well as Patrick's children, Rod (Karen) and Shannon (Jerry), 8 Grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren. Kathy is also survived by 5 out of 9 siblings and numerous friends.

Kathy held her family closest to her heart, spending most of her life in Ladysmith, moving to Chase in 2009 where she married Pat, and finally settling in Vernon in 2019.

She enjoyed camping, reading, sewing, hiking, travelling, wintering in Arizona, and in her early years Kinettes. Kathy was young at heart and in spirit. You knew she had a good day if it ended with a card game.

There will be no service as per her request, instead please consider donating to the Canadian Cancer Society or Heart and Stroke Foundation in her name.

My mind still talks to you and

my heart still looks for you.

But my soul knows you're at peace
