Kathleen Bouchat
April 27, 1926 – September 19,2018
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our dear mother and grandmother, Kathleen (Kay, Kath) Bouchat, at the age of 92, on Sept 19, 2018, at Golden Links Lodge where she has resided for the last 4 years.
Kay leaves to morn her son, Don; daughter, Susan and husband,Denis Cloutier; and beloved granddaughter, Genevieve and her fiancé, Jason Goldstine. She also leaves her dear sister, Clarice Taggart in England , and nieces and nephews in England and Canada to mourn her loss. Mom loved them all so dearly and kept in close contact while she was able, despite the distance between.
Mom was predeceased by her husband of 41 years, Harold Bouchat, in 1987, and by her brothers Ray and Arne Appleton.
Kath, as she was known by in her youth , was born in Middlesbrough, England in 1926 and came to Canada after WW11, at the age of 19, with her new Canadian (RCAF) husband, Harold. Together, they settled in Thunder Bay (Port Arthur), Ontario where they raised their family and spent many happy years before moving to Winnipeg in 1967.
Mom loved people and always had a smile and kind word for everyone; friend or stranger. Her presence and personality could light up any room.
A great pianist, Mom loved entertaining, cooking and baking. Her traditional English Teas could revival those of any world class chef.
The family would like to thank nurse Cathy, and Lindsay, Juanita and Darlene and all the staff at Golden Links Lodge for their love and kindness toward our Mom for the last 4 years, especially during these last most difficult months. Despite being non-verbal for 3 of those years, Mom was the “greeter” at GL and would welcome people with smiles, open arms and blown kisses.
At Kay’s wishes, cremation has taken place. Please join the family for a memorial service at 11:00 a.m. October 19 Neil Bardal Funeral Centre, 3030 Notre Dame Avenue.
In lieu of flowers, for those who wish, donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society or Winnipeg Humane Society.
