KATHLEEN MARGARET JOHNSTON

(DR. KATIE WILSON)

Our dear Katie passed away peacefully at Chilliwack General Hospital on November 13, 2017 after a

9 month battle with leukemia. Katie was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and aunt. She was born Kathleen Margaret Wilson in Belfast on September 1, 1948 and grew up on a farm in Ballydugan before attending medical school at Queen’s University in Belfast and marrying her beloved Billy in 1972. In 1975, Katie and Billy immigrated to Canada, first to Winnipeg where their son Sam was born in 1976 and then settling in Chilliwack where their second son Edward was born in 1979. As a doctor, Katie served Chilliwack and the surrounding communities for her professional life, first as a general practitioner until transitioning to a specialty in geriatrics, for which she had both a knack and a passion. Her dedication to her patients was an inspiration and made us so very proud. Katie was the light of our lives and she will be sorely missed.

A celebration of life will be held at Chilliwack United Church (45835 Spadina Avenue) on Monday, November 20th at 2:30pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Chilliwack Community Services (http://www.comserv.bc.ca/).
