It is with heartfelt sadness that we announce the passing of our dear sister, daughter, niece, and aunt, Kathryn, on Oct. 21, 2003.
Kathryn attacked the cancer that invaded her body with the same characteristics with which she approached life: optimism, tenacity, courage, and good humour.
Sometimes it is in our most difficult circumstances that we see the hand of God most clearly, and as a family, we give thanks for God’s blessings received even in the past few months.
Kathryn was born Oct. 22, 1959 in Atikokan, Ont. As a teenager, she lived in Fort Frances for two years, then moved to Winnipeg, Man., where she had resided since.
Kathy had a passion for life, delighting in her relationships with family, friends, colleagues, and some very significant buddies.
Kathy also volunteered her time as a Junior Achievement advisor, was a member of Toastmasters and Business Forms Management Association, and loved her quiet times mastering couture sewing, doing crosswords, and golfing with her “Chicks with Sticks.”
Kathy was predeceased by her father, John Price; and by her grandparents.
She will be deeply missed by her parents, Bob and Myrna Stark; her sisters and their families, Donna and Chris Cannon and sons, Tyler and Travis; Marilyn and Russ Desserre and sons, Taylor and Dustin; Leslie Stark and Aunika; and Laurie and Steve Keck and sons, Joshua, Jordan, and Justin; her step-brother, Geoff Stark, his wife, Sandy, and daughters, Catriona and Samantha; Aunt Marge and cousin Terri; Uncle Ken; and her cherished cats, Fuji and Shasta.
A memorial service was held Saturday, Oct. 25, 2003 at 2 p.m. at Harrow United Church in Winnipeg, with Rev. Teresa Moysey officiating.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Kathryn’s memory may be made to CancerCare Manitoba.
