Dominique Garnett says
September 9, 2026 at 2:01 pmDear Keith and family. I’m so very saddened to hear this awful news about your beloved Kathy. I knew her from way back at the Stage, then dancing together at Joey’s, then as a hairdresser extraordinaire. She was one of the kindest, laid back, grounded and fun-loving people I’ve ever known. To die so young when she still had so much to live for is just so cruel and unfair. I know you will all miss her always. I can only hope you that all your good memories will one day make your grief more bearable. My most sincere condolences.

September 10, 2026 at 9:52 amDear Keith, Helen, Kirstyn, Demetre, Karlyn and Kale
On behalf of the Congregation of St Paul’s Presbyterian Church I extend our deepest sympathy to you on the passing of Kathy. We cherished our friendship with Kathy and her amazing kindness in helping others. One of our best memories is her commitment to taking her mom Helen to church and to Ladies Aid Meetings. We will miss the chats, the smiles and the laughs and the stories of family adventures. She was also a willing volunteer at our church and just joined the Board of Trustees this past year. May you find comfort in the caring thoughts of family, friends and your church family. From Matthew 25 verse 23: ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’ Phyllis MacMaster, Clerk of Session
