August 12, 1933 – April 5, 2013
at the age of 79 years
We regret to announce the passing of Kathleen (Katie) Agnes Walker on April 5, 2013 at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC.
Katie (Nanny) was born in Chilliwack, BC on August 12, 1933. She attended school in Agassiz, BC where she graduated in a class of 12. She married Philip (Phil) Martin Harvey Walker on April 3, 1954. Phil worked for the Bank of Montreal, so they lived in various communities around BC, leaving a large amount of friends in each one, before settling in Sicamous, BC in 1973. Phil predeceased Katie on July 13, 2009.
Katie is survived by her brother David (Toots) Young, her son Terry Walker, her daughter Dauna (Brian) Kraft, six grandchildren, Brad (Tanya), Chris (Chelsea), Jayme (Doug), Nicole (Brett), Cody and Katie as well as six great grandchildren, Makayla, Brayden, Taryn, Alix, Kingsley and Beau.
The family would like to thank the Dr.’s and Nurses from Shuswap Lake General Hospital in Salmon Arm, BC and Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC for all the attention and care they gave her. A special thanks to the Sicamous Rescue Unit and Ambulance Crew.
A Celebration of Life Tea is planned for a later date.
Donna & Family, so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. Keep warm & happy memories of her close to your heart.
Donna, thanks for your kind telephone call about your mum. We 16 grads from Agassiz Jr-Sr High School had an enjoyable grade 10, 11 and 12 time–back in the day. Some of us remained friends for all of the years that have passed since that time. We didn’t reconnect that often, but when we did, there were lots of warm memories of good times with good folk. We will always remember Katie for her kindness, good humour and infectious laugh/giggle–something which got some of us into trouble a few times.
We understand the feeling of loss and sadness you must be experiencing and want you to know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
Love,
Peter & Barbara
