Katherine was born in Lubliniec Nowy, Poland on November 18, 1918 and immigrated in 1936 to Canada where she settled in the Okno/Arborg District. It is here that she married Peter and raised her family. After many years of farming Mom and Dad moved to Arborg where she worked at the Arborg Hospital. Mom loved working in her garden and she was sure to send you home with vegetables, flowers or something she had prepared in her kitchen. She was an avid reader, active member of her church and was devoted to her family. You could always count on her welcoming smile. In her final years she lived first with her daughter Margaret, then in Kin Place in Oakbank. Mom, you'll be missed so very much. Our family would like to extend special thanks to the staff at Kin Place for their loving and compassionate care.

Divine Liturgy will take place at Arborg Sacred Heart Ukrainian Catholic Church at 10:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 23, 2007. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Arborg Sacred Heart Ukrainian Catholic Church or a charity of you choice. Arborg (MacKenzie) Funeral Home in care of arrangements.
