It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Kit on May 10, 2011 at VGH in Vancouver after a long illness.
Beloved daughter, sister, aunt, cousin and friend to many.  Kit was predeceased by her father Wing Commander T.J. (Joe) MacKinnon (D.F.C.).  She will be lovingly remembered  by her mother Gaye, brothers Tom (Katia) (London, England), Hugh (Kathie)(Comox), Rob (Karen) (Richmond), nephews and nieces , Scott, Sean, Ross, Ryan, Gulia, Jane, Erin and Tara, aunts Margaret (Ladner) and Rita (Oakville, Ontario) , loving cousins and friends.
A graduate of Little Flower Academy in Vancouver, Kit touched the lives of many with her kindness, generosity, laughter and caring.  Many will remember her as the blonde, helpful presence at the jewelry department on the main floor of the downtown Hudson’s Bay store which she floor managed  for many years.  Kit also sponsored international students from Asia and became a 2nd mother to many of these girls helping establish in their minds that Canadians are the friendliness people on earth.  Always full of love and sincere concern, our beloved angel, our irrepressible Kit will always be treasured and missed.
