Kathy was a light. I got to know her as "Kathy Callum's Mom" because there was another Kathy in the Laura Secord multi-aged class that our kids shared. So Kathy was always identified with Callum in our househol.d! We have lived on the same street for a couple of decades now, raising kids and walking dogs, and chatting now and then about neighborhood stuff. Always kind with a ready smile, open and curious, Cathy made the world a better place. I am so grateful she was part of mine in the gentle neigbourly way that she was. She will be very missed. Andrew, we offer our deepest condolenses to you and your family.

with love from Melody and Steve (Haley and Adam's parents)

Thanks for having us <3 We love you all and are thinking of you!

My deepest condolences to you Devyn, your Dad, Andrew, and your brothers, Aidan and Callum. Your mom had a heart of gold and a beautiful smile that will live within you, in your memories and your heart forever. She will forever watch over you and be your guardian angel. ❤️ Sending you all a warm hug, thoughts and comfort.

Love,

Alessia & Family

Our deepest condolences to you, Aidan, Callum and Devyn. Kathy was a wonderful woman who was generous with both her time and her compassion and that made new acquaintances feel like old friends. She had a sense of calm that put everyone around her at ease. It was a marvellous gift.

We are remembering Kathy and all the fun times we

had at Rice Lake. We have a lifetime of cherished memories to help numb our grief because when someone lives on in our memories they'll never truly be gone.

Wishing you peace.

Love Art and Kim.

A truly beautiful lady who will be so dearly missed by those of us who were privileged to know her.

Here are some of the things that I remember about Kathy.

She was the kindest gentlest, most welcoming soul. She was always ready to give a helping hand, bring soup or an appetizer or two, or to help with a medical emergency.

I remember the time that Lucia fell and hit her head and Kathy was there on the phone early in the morning, in the cottage helping Lucia and then waving down an ambulance, and sending her food when she got back from the hospital.

Kath loved De Luca’s and always had delicious Italian delights on hand. Pizza dough or deli salami and cheeses, that woman knew how to feed a crowd!

Kath was famous for her chocolate banana cake. We are all going to miss that treat in our dinner tables.

You could always count on Kath for a good long talk on the beach, books, alternative medicine, politics, the latest thing on Netflix, her kids…

She loved her family, including her dogs, whole heartedly.

I remember after taking Luna for her first (and last) 5 k Walk. Right afterwards, Kathy arrived on my doorstep with doggy nail clippers and sat down and taught me how to clip Luna’s nails.

She hated that red vine- like weed? Remember during the last few summers how she spent so much time pulling it up?

I’ll miss her.

You all will miss her.

My heart is with all of you who loved her, Kaths friends and family, during this time of change and transition.

Very sorry to hear about your loss Andrew. It was a long time ago I met Kathy,around the time you two were new to each other and I was over at the famous Smith cottage. However my memories are still with me when it is to do with good people. After reading this obit I know you and your family will hve many happy memories.

Dear Andrew, Aidan, Lauren, Callum and Devyn,

There will never be anyone quite like Kathy, she was such an important part of our lives. She was strong, brave, courageous, smart, kind, loving and funny - Kathy left a lasting impact on all of us. There are no words to express our profound sadness.

We are grateful to you and for all the memories we share and cherish. She is loved and will always be in our hearts.

Love always,

Susan, Gord, Kyle and Sarah

Our condolences to Andrew and family.

We always remember our little chats on the street when she was dog walking. So sorry for your loss.

Sending our sympathy to Andrew and family. We saw Kathy regularly on her walks with Ellie. She always took the time to stop and chat. Our neighbourhood will not be the same without her!

Dear Andrew, Aidan, Lauren, Callum and Devyn, words cannot express how sad we are for your profound loss.

Kathy was an incredibly kind, caring and loving person; her beautiful spirit will easily live on through the many lives she touched.

A cherished sister, aunt and great aunt who will always be loved and missed; she will be in our hearts forever.

Love always,

Dianne, Matt, Erin, Briar and Emmett

Kathy was a solid human being, always had such a warm smile and had time always to listen and time to chat. My deepest condolences to Andrew and family.

Kathy was my first boss in market research. I learned a lot from her and she was always very kind and patient with me as I fumbled my way through the early days of my career. I hadn't spoken with her in many years but I have many great memories of working with her and getting to know her. It's very sad to hear the news. Sending my deepest condolences to her family.

We appreciated her friendship as Woleselyites sharing - soccer games and elementary school with their kids. She listened empathically making you feel heard. Condolences to all the family.

Sending my deepest sympathy to all of the family. Kathy was a wonderful mom and an amazing support as a parent volunteer in my Kindergarten classroom. She was kind and caring and always willing to help in any way possible. She will be missed.

Oh Andrew, how I recall with fondness our days at Children's Home back in the mid 1980's.

It's how I first met Kathy during our ride sharing days. She was full of warmth - like a ray of sunshine.

You had such a solid partnership - followed up with a solid family life.

Exemplars of deep love...

May you all rest easy now ❤️

I worked with Kathy some years ago and she was one of the most genuine people I've ever known. I remember her smile, her laugh and her lovely personality. We had many great conversations about our kids.
