Kath was born and raised in Okanagan Mission. After graduation she studied piano at ALMA College, St. Thomas, Ontario and received her Toronto Conservatory Music Diploma from the University of Toronto. She met and married her husband Pat, a flying instructor during W.W. II and they returned to settle in B.C. During her lifetime Mom had many interests: horseback riding, knitting, sewing, weaving, dried flower arranging, gardening, swimming, and canoeing. Her latter years were spent in her garden with her beloved plants and tickling the ivories on her beautiful grand piano.

Mom will be sadly missed but lovingly remembered in our hearts.
