Also leaving to mourn a large extended family, including the Marsh families and Burry families, as well as her circle of friends.
Kathryn began her teaching career at the age of 19 at Holy Heart of Mary in St. John’s. Kathryn’s favorite teaching years were spent at Labrador City Collegiate where the students nicknamed her “Mom”. She also taught at St Patrick’s, JR Smallwood Collegiate, and as a substitute teacher. Kathryn loved mentoring, educating and guiding her students and was well respected and adored by all. She always had time, love and a listening ear for every one of them. Kathryn enjoyed teaching for 25 fulfilling years.
After her teaching career, Kathryn was not finished helping others. At the age of 44 years, she returned to school and became a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN). She worked at the Miller Centre with care, compassion, a song, and a chuckle for all of the patients under her care.
Upon finally retiring, she moved to Hickman’s Harbour where she developed many friendships. Together with her husband Clarence, they spent endless time enjoying the quiet life with family, friends and nature.
Kathryn loved to knit, do crafts, listen to VOWR and watch the daily mass (especially mass from Ireland). Kathryn’s true love was her family. She loved them endlessly, was kind, fun, a great listener and was so proud of each and everyone.
Our family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the medical staff of the Health Science Centre, especially the staff of the Dialysis Unit, for your kindness and compassion shown to Kathryn.
