June 8, 1940 - August 30, 2022
Our immensely loved wife, mother, grandmother and friend passed away on August 30, 2022 at the Roozen Family Hospice.
She is survived by her husband of 58 years Donald, her daughter Adrienne (Mike) and her grandchildren she adored, Bailey (Charlie) and Davis (Madison).
A gifted high school athlete in volleyball and basketball, she went to business college and ended up at her dream job as Executive Assistant with the Edmonton Eskimos for 30 years until she retired. Her next calling was at the Hudson’s Bay which she loved, the customers and her coworkers gave her the social interaction she craved. She was a fashionista always looking her best.
She lived for curling and golf with the incredibly huge circle of friends that kept her and Don busy and living life to the fullest.
Her family and her grandchildren were her pride and joy. We are better people because we had Kathleen in our life. She was able to spend a welcome amount of time with us when she took early retirement and made every second count.
We thank all of the Pallative Care Team Pod D from the Cross Cancer Institute that helped us navigate her end of life. Sonya, Stephanie, Dr. Noush and all those in the background we thank you!
We were blessed she spent her final days at the unbelievable Roozen Family Hospice. The most caring place we could have ever experienced. Thank you Dr. Girard, the compassionate nursing team, volunteers - everyone, you have our gratitude for the care you gave her and our whole family.
Donations in lieu of flowers can be made to Pilgrims Hospice Society in Kathleen’s name.
A Celebration of Life will be planned within the coming months.
Rest well beautiful soul. We miss you.
