Kathryn was a long time member of the Osoyoos Christian Centre. Kaye loved reading her Bible and praying. She enjoyed salmon fishing on Vancouver Island with her husband, shopping trips to Spokane with her family, and a wonderful trip to Israel with Crossroads Ministry. Kaye was a devoted wife for 48 years, a loving mother and nanny. She will be fondly remembered sitting in her window chair, where she prayed and gave her friendly wave to passersby.
