Kathryn joined her partner of 30 years, Gregor Price, in a lost battle against cancer on Wednesday, November 11, 2015.

Her brother of the heart Douglas Lauzon, sister-in-law Claire, and nephews Darrel and Steven. As well as her siblings of blood more recently added to her life, their acceptance was appreciated. Goodbyes are felt by her friends at Shoppers Drug Mart (1246 and 620), the Stittsville and Richmond Legions, and many others acquired through her life. Special thanks to her best friend Donna Carriere for her ongoing support and encouragement for the last 40 years. Cremation has taken place.

Dear Leah and family,
I was so sorry to hear of Kathryns passing; I had seen her in August at home in Richmond just before your big garage sale. I enjoyed working with her at SDM Bank and Walkley; we had many a discussion about gardens. She was so proud of you all and enjoyed sharing photos of her grandaughters. I am thankful that she is at peace.
