Our very much loved mom and nanny was born to Maria and William Funk on July 5, 1923 in Rosenfeld
Manitoba and was the eldest of 14 children. It is small comfort that she lived a long and full life, the choice
was not ours that she left us so quickly, we’d gladly had more time.
At an early age, Kay professed her faith in Jesus Christ. She was an active member of Abbotsford
Pentecostal Assembly.
Kay was blessed with 5 children. Theresa preceded her in death on November 30, 1956. She raised her
children alone, a struggle she rose above with the Lord’s help and sheer dogged determination. Each of
which she had plenty. She carried on her legacy to her 9 grandchildren and 8 great-grandchildren. She
was a talented needlework artist, a competitive card player, a jigsaw puzzler, her own professional
organizer, a reader and seeker, thoughtful and generous by intent and action. She called herself a roving
reporter, always asking questions of everyone she met to better know and understand them. Her humor
and spirit would light up a room and bring a smile to all.
Kay’s beautiful life will forever be cherished in the lives of her children: Jackie (Terry), Guy (Sharon),
Leslie, and Ross (Marsha). Her grandchildren: Naomi Card, Stephen Puhl, Curtis Puhl, Vanessa Friesen,
Doris Loewen, Piercen Breedyk and Celeste Pambrun-Breedyk, Jamie, and Casey Pambrun. Her
great-grandchildren: Kylie, Madison, Jackson, Jordan, Riley, Trinity, Kiana, Sophia, and Desmond. Also
mourning her loss is her sister Hilda Funk, brother Harry Funk, sisters-in-law Eva Funk and Mary Funk.
She was preceded in death by her brothers and sisters: Erdman, Willie, Ben, Mary, Erdman, Peter,
Dorothy, Trudy, John, Bill, and Fred.
Kay made lasting friendships and treasured her time with dear friends Ann, Elma and Katie. Phone calls
and visitors meant so much to her this past year. Her faith in Jesus was strong and unwavering, evident
to all. She was not afraid of death, knowing she would be with Jesus.
