Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryKATHLEEN MARY EDWARDS
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Kathleen Edwards on February 20, 2024, just a few weeks shy of her 97th birthday.
Kathy is survived by her children, Jeanette (John), John (Linda), Michael (Catherine) and Marnie (Malcolm); grandchildren, Steven (Stephanie), Greg, Laura, Austin, Daniel, Luke, Devon (Leelen) and Garret (Natasha); great-grandchildren, Zachary, Elijah, Liam, Alena, Ava, Sofia, Mila and Jax. Kathy was predeceased by her beloved husband of 57 years, Clifford in 2008. She was also predeceased by her sister, Margaret Faber and infant son, Paul.
Kathy, the younger daughter of Ernest and Helena Faber, was born in Wembley, England. As a teenager, she was evacuated to Keighley in Yorkshire during the Second World War before returning to London to study Nursing at Guy’s Hospital. She was a diligent student and earned the gold medal for finishing top of her Nursing class. In early 1951, a few weeks after graduation, she married Cliff. They both then served as missionaries in West Africa for several years, before immigrating to Canada in 1958 and settling in Winnipeg.
Kathy was a dedicated, loving and attentive mother. Throughout her life, she provided unfailing support to her four children and later her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. As a devout Christian, Kathy was an active member initially at Church of the Way and then later at St. Aidan’s Anglican Church.
The family would like to thank the many dedicated Home Care staff, as well as Kim Cable, all of whose compassionate and loving care enabled Kathy to live independently during her final years.
A celebration of Kathy’s life will take place later this year at Thomson “In the Park” Funeral Home.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to a charity of your choice.

My sincere condolences to Jeanette, and the family. I have several fond memories of Mrs Edwards and family at Church of The Way, and also Keswick Star Lake Lodge. She was a loving supportive Mother and wife, as well as a compassionate friend to many in the Church. My mother, Marj, regarded her very highly. - Posted by: Don Lewis (old friend from C.o.T.W.) on: Mar 03, 2024
