Peacefully, after a brief stay at St. Boniface Hospital, Kathy finished her journey on earth and was welcomed into eternity to be with her Saviour.

Sadly her father was killed in a traffic accident on November 5, 1955. The family moved to Steinbach in 1957.

Kathy moved to Winnipeg in early 1960. She met her future husband in the sewing factory where they worked. They married in May 1969. They had 2 daughters. Sadly they separated in 2011 and divorced in 2015.

Also surviving her are 2 brothers Henry (Alice) Braun, Ernest (Doreen) Braun, and their families, and her sister Mary Ann, and ex-husband Albert Mitchell.
