Katherine Wanamaker

WANAMAKER, Katherine Gertrude –
Peacefully at Marian Villa, London, on Saturday, November 18, 2017 passed away in her 96th year. Beloved mother of Stephen and his wife Karen, and the late Linda Wanamaker (2016). Predeceased by Richard (2004), her husband of 62 years. Cherished grandmother of Damon and his wife Vincie, and great grandson Nate. Very special “Mother” to Maidy and Bob Keir, and “Grandma” to their children Welby, Shelley, and Colleen. Remembered fondly by nieces Carol Ann and Judy, and nephews Charles and Richard. Sadly missed by her close friends Sandie and Jean. Katherine enjoyed the frequent family vacations to New Brunswick, Myrtle Beach, & Florida, many years of watching The Young & Restless, new red sweaters at Christmas, and the daily crossword and jumbled word puzzles. She was sharp witted and a voracious reader, who was very in tune with current events, and able to share with you the latest Blue Jays scores. She enjoyed retelling interesting stories from her early life, and lived vicariously through the experiences of family and friends. Kay was always intrigued by the latest antics of her great grandson Nate. A special thanks goes to the 4th floor staff at Marian Villa who provided such devoted care and compassion to “Miss Kay”. In keeping with her wishes, there will be no visitation. Interment and graveside service following cremation December 2, 2017 in the family plot in Hampton Rural Cemetery, Hampton NB. Memorial donations may be made to the St. Joseph’s Health Care Foundation, c/o Parkwood Institute, 550 Wellington Road, London ON, N6C 0A7 or to the charity of your choice. Arrangements entrusted to A. Millard George Funeral Home, 519-433-5184. Online condolences, memories, and photographs may be shared at www.amgfh.com.
