She spent the last five years living with her daughter in Red Deer. Kathryn was an avid bingo player, five days a week, if you can imagine. She also loved trips to the casino in Belcourt, North Dakota. For years, she enjoyed bowling and in 1988 bowled in a championship in Carson City - Reno, Nevada. She had busy hands, always knitting something. Kathryn is survived by son Mike (Betty), Coquitlam, BC; daughters Doreen, Mesa, Arizona; Virginia, Red Deer, AB; grandsons Bill (April), St. Anthony, New Mexico; Dan (Carlena), Red Deer, AB; and granddaughter Susan (Ben) Nosara, Costa Rica.

A graveside service will be held at the Brandon Cemetery on Friday, November 12, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. with Mona Franklin officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Kathryn may be made to a charity of your choice.
