Katherine Gaunce

“Our dear daughter and sister Katherine Lisa Gaunce left us suddenly on December 4, 2018, due to complications of the heart at the age of 50. She leaves us, her parents (Al and Heather) and sister (Julia), her beloved cats Watson and Wyatt, and a loving network. Kathy attended and graduated from Jean Rennie High School in Pointe Claire, QC then Trent University in Peterborough, ON with a BSc in psychology. She later studied theology for a year at McGill University in Montreal. Kathy was a sweet, brilliant, loyal woman who loved her family, friends and home. She was a true artist and craftswoman—a passionate knitter, cross-stitcher, jewelry maker and photographer—as well as a tech whiz, a funny wit, a person of faith, and a great and generous cook. Through all struggles Kathy remained at depth an amazingly sunny character. We are heartbroken. Should friends desire, the family suggests that memorial contributions may be sent to an animal rescue operation of choice or to the Heart & Stroke Foundation. A memorial service will be held in Montreal in the spring.”
