Kaye loved to bless the lives of those around her, especially her family, with her considerable talents. She thoroughly enjoyed the comradery of gathering together with family and friends for quilting bees, game nights, picnics at the farm in the river bottom and Christmases at home. Kaye cherished being a wife and mother of 5 and all the cooking, canning, baking, gardening and sewing that went along with it as well as teaching her children the skills to do them also. She was very talented with her hands and made many, many wonderful creations that will be cherished for generations.

Kaye loved serving the Lord in her many leadership roles in her church and serving others in many capacities. She was always quick to stand up for the underdog.

Kaye was enjoyed and loved by all who knew her and will be deeply missed.

A Funeral Service will be held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, COPPERWOOD WARD, 9 Keystone Terrace West, Lethbridge, AB on Saturday, October 15, 2016 at 1:00 P.M. with Bishop Sheldon McLachlan officiating.
