McKENNA, Katherine Anne (nee RYAN)  - Died peacefully at home surrounded by her family as the last verse of the Divine Mercy Chaplet was prayed on May 14, 2018 at the age of 76.

She was filled with a tremendous peace her last few days and the tenderness between she and Joe was reminiscent of their first love and a gift for all to see

Kathy is survived by her Husband Joseph, Children Patrick (Claudia), Shauna (Chuck Vick), John (Marina), Katie (Andrew Grieve) and the wonderful Grandchildren for whom she had a deep love, Jake and Riley McKenna, Tori Vick, Hannah, Gerard, Maeve and Fiona McKenna and Grace and Ella Grieve.

Kathy was born on September 14, 1941 in Medicine Hat, Alberta.

Her children, their friends and anyone who walked through her door, were welcomed as one of the family by her generous loving heart. She will be remembered for her laughter, her love and compassion and that she always had room for one more at the table.

Many many thanks to Dr. Arvanitis and her Care workers from VHA, especially Hazel, Emmeline and Gloria, all of whom treated her with such respect, dignity and love. The past few years, her daughter-in-law Claudia was an extension of her left arm, taking all Kath's direction on how she wanted everything done, bills, planning, organizing, appointments and we are so very grateful.

The family will receive friends at the Holy Cross Catholic Funeral Home, 211 Langstaff Road East, on Friday, May 18th, 2018 from 6-8 p.m. A Mass of Christian Burial will take place within the funeral home Chapel, on Saturday at 9:15 a.m.  A private family interment to follow at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks for Donations to Madonna House Apostolate to the Poor, 501 Parkside Drive, Toronto, Ontario M6R 2Z9.

"Love, love, love never counting the cost." Catherine de Hueck Doherty.
