I was deeply saddened to hear about Kathy's passing. She was a faithful and dedicated woman. My sincere condolences to her family and friends.

Thoughts and prayers are with you.

We were so saddened to hear of our dear caring friend's passing

God saw what was before her

And what she would have to bear

And smiling down upon her

He took her in his care

Lovingly remebered,

Ian and Dawna McGee

We are both so sorry for the loss of your sister and sister-in-law Katherine.  Please accept our condolences at this difficult time.

Kathy was such a vibrant and caring person, always willing to give her time to whatever task was needed to be done at St. Andrew's.  She was passionate about Camp K and our Christian Education department, and contributed to many other areas as well.  Her input and guidance was appreciated and we shall miss her sense of humour. 

My sincere condolences to Kathy's family.  May your special memories of Kathy bring you peace.

We remember Katherine attending church services at Knox, Ripley with her Mother Hazel. Always a great visit with Katherine at Ripley Reunions and Ripley Fall Fairs!  I do treasure my “plough point” tole painting of the Point Clark Lighthouse custom made just for me-I had admired her work at the R-Villa Christmas Bazaar! Katherine  always took the time to visit and catch up with the Ripley-Huron news.  Take good care!   Don and Dianne Simpson

Dear family and friends of Kathy. I'm so sorry for your loss. Kathy was my next door neighbour on Brandon Avenue for 13 years. I was so blessed to have her as a neighbour. We looked out for each other. I always felt comforted knowing she was in her house next door while I was living alone for several years. It's so strange looking at her lovely house knowing she's not there anymore. I loved our chats in the driveway or over the fence in the backyard. She was always so positive and funny and just a truly lovely woman. She also loved chatting with my dogs - even Sookie who always barked at her LOL. I agree that she was hard working! Even after her illness I would see her out shoveling snow or pulling weeds. I would scold her and tell her to let me do that! But she just loved to work. I will miss her lovely smile and friendly wave and the comfort of having such a caring neighbour. My deepest sympathies to her friends and family. Jane and Alan and Sandra, who I have met, my deepest sympathies to you and your family.

I want to express my sympathy to all of Katherine's family.  I went to school with her in Ripley and in Kitchener.  We had lost touch over the years.  Here is a funny memory - we were little farm girls in the big city and went to lunch at Goudie's Dept. store.  We didn't eat out often as we weren't flush with cash for sure!  So bottom line Katherine decided to have the fish dinner - probably the special that day.  The fish came with the head on- first her neck got red up to her face and then I thought she was going to have a heart attack!  As long as I live I will never forget that and I am sure she never ordered fish again without asking for NO head.  

I was so sorry to hear of Kathy's passing.  She was a lovely, fun, hard-working person, with a great sense of humour, and I so enjoyed all our chats, while working at St. Andrew's, or elsewhere.  In future, I will look at her hand-painted Christmas ornaments on my tree and remember her fondly.  I wish you comfort in your grieving and that you celebrate many treasured memories.

My sympathies to Kathy's family for your loss. I worked with Kathy for 10 years at the Waterloo OMAFRA office. As Office Manager she was very efficient and knowledgeable. Kathy would do anything to find the answers for the client's' questions. She was such a hard worker and had many interests. May your memories of her being you comfort.

We will miss her beautiful smile and wonderful company. It's so hard to say goodbye. Our thoughts are with you all.

So sorry to hear of Katherines passing .It was always great to see her at the Ripley Fair and to check out all her entries as well .She was always asking for the family and interested in what they were doing . Another good neighbour from the 6 th concession of Huron . Joan and Ken 

Extending our sympathy to all of you at this time. Sincerely Doug and Karen.

Don and Elma, we were just shocked and sad to hear about Kathy's passing on the radio today.  

She was such a pleasant person, and I am sure you all will have many wonderful memories of her.

Sending sincere condolances to you all. Laureen&JohnEby

We are so sorry for your deep loss.  Kathy was a lovely kind hearted person and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.  Kathy was a dearly loved elder and a tireless worker for St. Andrew's,  She was well respected for her many contributions to St. Andrew's

Greiving with you.    Peter and Jennie Kalbfleisch

My sincere condolences to the whole family, as I know Kathy valued and fiercely loved you all.  We worked together on the Camp K committee for many, many years, and shared lots of laughs, and lots of good hard work.  Over the past couple years Kathy and I were brought closer together as we shared in each other's health journey.  Lots of emails and phone calls, and encouragement for each other.  I hold a very special place in my heart for her, and I'm so incredibly sad that she had to leave, I will miss her immensely. 

Kathy will be missed by so many people who were touched by her heart and infectious laughter. I enjoyed many years working with Kathy  on various Christian Education projects and events (teaching Sunday school, dressing up for Family Nights, painting classrooms, cooking for events, and many many CE meetings). Kathy had a servants heart and was always one of the first people to volunteer to help out - even if it meant getting messy, being silly, or jumping outside her comfort zone. 

Sending love and prayers to all of her family and friends who are grieving her loss. 

- Lauren, Mike, Waverley and Renleigh Wasyluk
