Dignified and independent during life, Kathleen's quality of life had been declining over many months. Kathleen was predeceased by her husband Michael, five sisters and one brother, and leaves to cherish her memory her sister Amy Troyer; her children: sons Wayne (Margaret), Michael (Shauna), daughter Sharon (John) Havixbeck; her nine grandchildren Roseanne (Robert), Tanya (Nic), Mike, Catherine, Julianne, Erin, Jeffrey, Samantha, Cameron; her one great-grandchild Cordyn and many nieces, nephews, and other loving relatives and friends. Kathleen grew up on the family farm in Angusville, MB, and then was off to Normal school to become a teacher. She met her husband of 55 years, Michael, in Winnipeg and started their life together as proprietors of M and K café in Buchanan, SK. Moving with her husband's career, and growing family Kathleen lived in Vancouver, Saskatchewan, and finally Winnipeg making lasting friendships along the way. A long time parishioner of St. Basil's Parish, Kathleen was active with the Ukrainian Catholic Women's league where she was president and a member for 50 years also serving on the Ukrainian National Council. She later obtained her real estate license, was an accredited appraiser, active toastmaster, volunteer for newcomers to Canada and hosted countless guests, while running a bed and breakfast from her home on Carlyle Bay. Kathleen enjoyed travelling with her husband Michael, family and friends to Europe, Australia, Ukraine, and many parts of the United States.

A classy lady and phenomenal cook and hostess, Kathleen took pride in her children, grandchildren, and extended relatives and their accomplishments both large and small.

Donations may be made to St. Basil's Parish or to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. After Glow I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one. I'd like to leave an after glow of smiles when life is done. I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways of happy times and laughing time, and bright sunny days. I'd like the tears of those who grieve today before the sun Of happy memories that I leave when life is done. VICHNAYA PAM'YAT Cropo Funeral Chapel, 586-8044

So sorry for your loss. Your Mom was such an elegant, classy lady, always friendly and such a genuine spirit. She was a good friend of my Mom and Dad, was a fixture at St. Basil's, and my Catechism teacher as well. We have some nice pictures of your family and ours around Mom's Easter table, enjoying breakfast, back in the day. May the memories be many and may those memories keep you in her after glow forever.
