Kathe Latyn (nee Reimer) 1935-2021:
Kathe passed away at Lanark Heights Long Term Care home, with family at her side, on Friday, December 17, 2021, in her 86 year. Beloved wife of the late Wasyl Latyn (2010). Loving mother of Willy (Gail), David, Mark (Maria), and Victor (Laura). She will be sadly missed by grandchildren Cassie, Aaron, Justin, Nicole, Ashley, Emmet, and Alisha, as well as great-grandson Emryk.
Kathe was born August 4, 1935, in Ruekenau, Ukraine, the daughter of Jacob and Susanne Reimer. She was predeceased by all six of her siblings. After fleeing Soviet Russia in 1943, life’s circumstances took her to Poland, East Germany, West Germany, and Uruguay, before emigrating to Canada in 1954. Kathe will be forever remembered for her inner strength, integrity, compassion, and faith in God. She was a member of Zion Mennonite Brethren Church, and later, the Kitchener Gospel Hall.
A special thank-you to the staff at Lanark Heights Pine Neighbourhood for the excellent care she received.
A private family burial will be held at Woodland Cemetery. Kathe’s family will receive relatives and friends from 9:30 – 10:15 a.m. on Saturday, January 8, 2022, at the Henry Walser Funeral Home, 507 Frederick Street, Kitchener, followed by a memorial service in the chapel at 10:30 a.m.
Those wishing to attend Kathe’s visitation and service must RSVP through the funeral home website or by calling 519-749-8467.
As expressions of sympathy and lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Wildlife Federation and St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation would be appreciated by the family (cards available at the funeral home).
