Peacefully passed away at North Bay General Hospital on Monday, February 14, 2011, at the age of 45. Beloved daughter of Sylvia Takacs and the late Mike Takacs. Loving sister of Michael, Stephen, Scott, Kevin, Sean and Tom. Beloved sister-in-law of Karen, Denise, Susan, Collette and Lisa. A very special Aunt to her most adored nephews and nieces, Michael, Alyse, Stephen, Alexandria, Matthew, Olivia, Aaron, Nathan, Nicole and Mason. Survived by her Aunt Helen and Uncle Russ Hannusch (Cambridge), Aunt Jeri Smith (Estevan, Saskatchewan), Uncle George (Bud) Smith and Aunt Deanna (Bathurst, New Brunswick) as well as many cousins and beloved friends.
Kath was born in Ireland, raised in Cambridge, and has travelled ever since, with her family and then on her own, coast to coast in Canada. She enjoyed a successful professional career as a property manager for Morguard Properties, working at locations from Victoria to North Bay and points in between.
Kath was always generous with her time for family, friends and community. Relay for Life, North Bay Blooms, and the Chamber of Commerce are just a few of the recent activities she participated in. A long time Rotarian she was involved in many projects including humanitarian trips to Mexico and Peru to distribute needed supplies, and was named North Bay Rotarian of the year in 2010.
Kath had a big heart. A free spirit. She really loved to laugh. We will all miss her dearly.
