She attended Normal School gaining her teachers certificate in 1928. She married Alvin in 1931, and moved to Swan Lake balancing her time working on the farm and substitute teaching. During these busy years on the farm, she always found time to be very active in the community of Swan Lake. In later years she taught E.S.L. to a number of foreign students. When time permitted she enjoyed travelling. She travelled to Alaska, Mexico and several countries overseas including England, Thailand, Australia and China. She met and acquired many good friends throughout these years. Sincere appreciation is expressed to the nursing staff at Tuxedo Villa Nursing Home for their gentle care and attention to her needs. A service of remembrance for family will take place on Thursday, October 4 at 2:00 p.m. in Knox United Church, 400 Edmonton St., with Rev. Eleanor Geib officiating. Interment will follow at St. Johns Cathedral Cemetery. If friends so desire, donations in memory of Kathleen Couch may be made to the charity of your choice.

Your memories are our keepsakes from which we will never part; God has you in His keeping but we have you in our hearts. Auntie Kay you were an important part of our lives and we will miss you. Lovingly Jim, and Faith, Jason, Janice and Crystal. LEATHERDALE GARDINER 1501 Waverley Street 949-4860
