It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Kathleen Evans on December 22, 2021, in Camrose, Alberta, at the age of 93 years.
Kathleen will be deeply missed by her sister, Sr/Sister Mary John of Fatima, Portugal, sister-in-law, Mary Ronayne of Bristol, England, and her niece and nephews, Christina, Michael, and Peter (Mary) Ronayne. Also husband Dick’s children, Donna, Ken and Lorna and their children.
She is lovingly remembered by the many students she taught in her career as a teacher and by numerous friends world-wide. Her motto was, “To Read Is to Know”. She strongly believed reading lead to higher achievement. For 18 years she drove the dusty back roads with her Travelling Library delivering reading books (from her own collection of 20,000) to County of Wetaskiwin, Camrose, and Leduc children during the summer months. Kathleen was Grandma Teller, writing a weekly newspaper page titled, “Our Page” for the Wetaskiwin Times Advertiser expanding 14 years.
Kathleen was predeceased by her husband, Dick Evans and her parents Bridget and James Ronayne.
