• My heartfelt condolences to the Family and Friends of Kathy. She had me in awe of how much she could accomplish in a week as well as diligently tending to the expectations we imposed on her as secretary of the Garden Club. She was the greeter at every meeting, juggling the duties of secretary, membership, sales and keeping us in line. The club anniversary tea was an impressive event, due to her efforts. We had so much fun together. She and I partnered in the Biz clean up events. I was the brunt of her many put downs and received many Ukrainian-based FB messages. So many cherished memories. She accomplished so many good things in life. - Posted by: Pat Osmond (Friend) on: Mar 14, 2024

• Kathy and I met at the Transcona Garden Club many years ago. We worked (volunteered) together for many years. She always made the best cake when we were unwell or injured. Kathy went out of her way to help out at our many club activities. She would pick up Domia and drive her home from the meetings. This was at the age of 80 for Kathy and Domia was a bit older. We had many laughs, and a few beers over the years. I will miss her sense of humor, and her compassion with Ryan over the years. It was a pleasure to have known Kathy. My condolences and sympathies to the family. - Posted by: Lorene Schipper (Friend) on: Mar 12, 2024

• My sincere condolences to her family and friends. We hadn't seen each other for a number of years, but never really felt apart. Sweet dreams, girl... - Posted by: Ron Nimchuk (Good old friend from school days at McDavid ) on: Mar 12, 2024

• Condolences to the family and cherish the wonderful memories. I went to school with Cathy. My cousin Norm Cook and Cathy were very good friends and those two were always doing something they shouldn't be! A few years ago I had a chance to reconnect with Cathy in Calgary when she flew out to celebrate Norman's 80th birthday. She was still the same friendly, humorous, and wonderful person I remembered from so many years ago. Always remember it isn't a life lost; it is a life well lived. There was always laughter in our school ground and I am sure there was always laughter in your home. Cherish those wonderful times. - Posted by: Mae Fisher (friend) on: Mar 12, 2024

• Condolences to the entire family for the loss of your mother, grandmother, aunt, cousin & friend. All who knew Kathy are now left with only memories of her sharp wit, humour and goodness she had in her heart for others and so much more. I recall her as a diligent & hardworking banker who had me smiling or laughing whenever she was in the office cursing under her breath when she was doing grunt work for unappreciative clients who needed a cashed personal cheque pulled out of the book vault because they had forgotten they had in fact written it. She of course would serve them with a smile. That was Kathy. Her energy to bowl & attend aqua size & be part of the Transcona Garden Club and who knows what else, had me hopeful that I too could be as active as she was one day. Our many coffees at Tims never lasted long enough as she had interesting stories to tell from her childhood to now. The last coffee we had was in December. Surprised drop off by her of a jar of her delicious pickles, jelly & antipasti in late December on my doorstep. We were to meet in January ….. I had more Mason jars for her that she said she’d get from me in two weeks. She just had a couple doctor appointments and then she’d see me. Unfortunately, I did meet with her but, in the hospital …. I asked her what she was doing here? She was supposed to meet me for coffee!!! She opened her eyes and replied “I’m going to be late”. And a little smile. That’s how I’ll remember this special woman with a sense of humour or maybe it was with sarcasm, right until the end. You will me missed by dear friend Lori Lind 💐 - Posted by: Lori Lind (Friend & past CIBC Co-worker ) on: Mar 12, 2024

• I had the privilege of serving with Kathy on the Kin Place board. She was always calm, friendly and efficient. She dealt with any task with efficiency but also in a caring and diplomatic manner. If Kathy was looking after something you knew it would be well done and that the solution would be arrived at in such a manner that everyone would be happy. She spoke highly and often of her family and it was evident that she loved you all dearly. My sincere sympathy to you. - Posted by: Diane (Friend) on: Mar 12, 2024
