KATHY MORRIS
September 20, 1938 - February 17, 2020
So on this day, we were all brought together by phone calls, emails and texts, because of this beautiful sweet lady. "Mrs. Friendly Manitoba" as Dad deemed her - will be truly missed.
Mom and Dad met in their teens, and spent many happy years together. They were fortunate to celebrate their 60th Wedding Anniversary last July with family and friends.
Mom's career was multifaceted; from making milkshakes as a teen to customer service at The Bay cash office Unicity. In her 50s, she embarked on a career we much appreciated, and she was most natural with "Best Grandma"!
Her happiest times were with good friends at Bird River, and watching her hummingbirds. Later she would have the most beautiful view on Netley Creek - able to observe all of the birds and wildlife she enjoyed so much.
Left to mourn are her husband, Ray; children, Christine (Heath), Keith (Jo-Anne), and Glen (Keri); grandchildren, Magen (Gord), Dylan (Bailey), Ian, Emily, Jaeden, Galen, Ethan, and Henry; great- granddaughters, Tara and Kaiya; brothers, Rollie (Sandie), and Roger (Susan); sisters-in-law, Sheila, Marg, and Lily; brother-in-law, Des; life-long friends, Don and Olive, Ann and Gerry, Shirley.
She was predeceased by her parents, Art and Alice Cook; siblings, Anne, Alice, Edward and Mickey; nephews, Kevin and Scott.
We would like to thank the staff at Selkirk Regional Health Centre, Interlake Home Care, the first responders, Dr. Albak and Dr. Brown - the care from everyone was exceptional. We will never forget your kindness.
In lieu of flowers, donations to a charity of one's choice.
Funeral Mass will be held at St. Charles Roman Catholic Church, Winnipeg, MB, on Thursday, February 27, 2020, at 11:00 a.m.
A Mass of Remembrance will be held at St. Anne's Parish in Petersfield at a later date.
Condolences may be left on her tribute wall at www.gilbartfuneralhome.com
Gilbart Funeral Home, Selkirk
in care of arrangements.

My deepest sympathies to Ray and the family. Kathy was a huge part of my childhood and a second mama in many way. Sending all our love and prayers, Joanne Smith and Ruby Beaumont - Posted by: Joanne Beaumont -Smith (Neighbor) on: Apr 07, 2020

We are thinking of you all, especially today. Auntie Kathy was such a kind and caring person. Even though we are far from Winnipeg, we always felt a part of all things "Cook" from Auntie Kathy's phone calls and news. Her love was always unconditional and she always saw the best in people. We are better for knowing and loving her! - Posted by: Susan Preece and Sheila Cook (Niece and sister-in-law) on: Feb 28, 2020

Thankful to have had Aunty Kathy and Uncle Ray to run down the road to see and gain support from. My whole life Aunty Kathy has been nearby with a smile and a kind word. Always wanting to hear what is happening, how my friends are, then my husband Todd and Erica and Andrew when our children were born. Always in our hearts and daily memories. From days in the swimming pool in Morgan Crescent, terrorizing in and around and through the Crestview neighborhood, later Bird River, lately Netley Creek. We love you Aunty Kathy. Thank you for loving us and for your hugs, kisses and generosity. Lori Payne and family. XOs to you in heaven. - Posted by: Lori Payne (Family friend) on: Feb 24, 2020
