Katie passed away peacefully on August 19, 2023.
She will be missed dearly by everyone who knew and loved her.
She leaves behind her children, Tom (Ainslie), Jeann (Joel), grandchildren Kynan, Allegra, Sabrina and Chandler (Jenn) and great-granddaughter, Amelia, and other extended family. Her loving niece Kathy and devoted friend Linda, mourn her loss greatly.
Her life revolved around music, as a singer, performer, entertainer and teacher of voice and piano. She was devoted to and adored her students, resulting in loving and lasting lifetime friendships. Katie made people feel loved by always remembering special details about them and their families.
At the age of 85 she met the love of her life, Philip, and shared three amazingly happy years before he passed away.
Katie was born the same day as the White Spot opened in Vancouver and it was her favourite restaurant to dine at. Since her 90th birthday when the White Spot invited her to their 90th Anniversary celebrations they continued to help celebrate her birthday in style with White Spot food and gorgeous flowers. Thank you, Warren and Sabrina, for always remembering her on her special day!
To all the staff at South Granville Park Lodge we extend our warmest thanks for the devoted and compassionate care you provided Katie. In keeping with Katie’s wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no service. Donations in her memory may be made to a charity of your choice.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Kearney’s Funeral Home.
