Kate Elizabeth Adams – 56, Truro. It is with deep
sadness that the family of Kate Elizabeth Adams announces her passing
on Tuesday, October 22, 2024. Kate passed away peacefully in the
Palliative Care Unit at Colchester East Hants Health Centre, Truro,
with her family by her side, after a courageous battle with
cancer.
Kate was born in Heswall, England in 1967. The family moved
to Oshawa, Ontario, Canada when she was seven years old before moving
to Gores Landing, Ontario. In her grade 7 year, work commitments took
the family to Claremont Ferrand, France for 18 months. The family then
moved back to Canada where she spent grades 8-11 at Bridgewater High
School before graduating from West Pictou High School in
1985.
Kate went on to complete a BSc in Biology from Saint
Mary’s University from 1985-1991 where she was also a
standout soccer player for the Huskies and in the Sr.
Women’s Soccer League. Her devotion to her teammates and her
unapologetic competitiveness will never be forgotten. After her first
degree, she went on to complete her Bachelor of Science Human Ecology
degree from Mount Saint Vincent University in 1996. Upon graduation,
Kate became the first Consumer Nutrition Advisor in Atlantic Canada to
be employed by a grocery store when she worked for Ryan’s
IGA in Truro, Nova Scotia.
She eventually decided to embrace a teaching career, and went
back to Mount Saint Vincent University to enroll in the BEd program –
a choice that would positively impact the lives of many: the students
she taught, coached, and became friends with over the next 20 years.
As a teacher, Kate was known to be tireless, innovative, empathetic,
highly-skilled and deeply respected and loved by staff and
students.
Family meant everything to Kate; she was an amazing wife and
partner for 29 years, proud mother of three children and a loving
daughter and sister to her immediate family. She had an unmatched
devotion to always being there for her family and close friends, who
were the most important pieces in her life. Loved ones will remember
her beauty and strength during difficult times, her outgoing
personality, her loving yet competitive nature, her athletic ability
(which friends consistently pointed out that she passed on to her
kids), her toughness, and her dislike for tardiness.
Many friends and house guests can also attest to her mastery
of adding fun to any gathering with her Jello-shots. She was a role
model to many in the community, and an inspiration to those around her
both professionally and personally. Though the last few years were
difficult, she carried herself with strength and dignity and continued
to only think of those around her. She leaves behind a legacy of all
her best traits in her children who consistently made her proud to be
their mother. They will honor her memory as they move forward without
her. She was more than we deserved, and the world will be
less without her; her family and friends are grateful for all that she
was.
Kate is survived by her husband, Rob; their three children,
Michael, Leah, Jenna; mother, Jill (Gordie) Holstead; father, Darrell
(Sue) Evans; sisters, Joanne (Dennis) McPhee, Nikki Evans; brothers,
Andy (Carla) Evans, Dan (Michelle) Evans, Gareth Evans; many nieces
and nephews.
Her family would like to thank all the staff involved in her
care over the last two years, especially the Palliative Care Unit at
Colchester East Hants Health Centre in Truro.
At her request there will be no visitation or public service
at this time. A celebration of life will be held at a later date. In
lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Canadian
Cancer Society or a local food bank. Arrangements have been entrusted
to Mattatall – Varner Funeral Home, 55 Young Street, Truro.
