Peacefully, on Saturday, January 15, 2022 at St. Boniface Hospital, Katherine “Kathy” Taylor passed away at the age of 52.

She will be lovingly remembered by her husband Tim, children Kelsey (Colton) and Gavin (Alexandréa), mother-in-law Penny. Kathy was a loving cat mom to Ned and Nado.

Left to cherish Kathy’s memory are siblings Celine (Cam), Diane, Vivianne, Claudette (Larry), Dennis (Valerie), Rolande (Harvey), Emily (Ron), Maurice (Michelle), Carol (Blaine), Richard (Roxanne) and Paulette (John) along with many nieces and nephews.

Kathy is predeceased by her parents, Henri and Fern Espenell, brothers Rheal and Larry, nephew Darrell, father-in-law Tom, and many loving pets throughout her life.

Kathy had a bright, beautiful smile and a great sense of humour. She was always very loving, caring, and compassionate. Kathy enjoyed spending time with family and staying connected to those around her. One of her favourite things was going on shopping trips to Grand Forks, which she described as her “happy place”.

Kathy’s family will celebrate her life privately.

As an expression of sympathy, if friends so wish, donations may be made in Kathy’s memory to the Portage Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), 121- 12th St. NE, Portage la Prairie, MB, R1N 4A2.

A tree will be planted in memory and cared for by McKenzies Portage Funeral Chapel.  www.mckenziesportagefuneralchapel.com
