KANE, KATHLEEN (HUDDART, McKIERAHAN) Kathleen's family would like to let all her friends know that she passed away, gently, on September 16 at Moog and Friends Hospice House in Penticton. Kathleen was born 90 years ago in Vancouver, grew up and completed her education through Normal School there, then jumped directly into the deep end by signing on as a teacher in a two-room school in a coastal logging camp, accessible only by boat. There she met and later married Ken, moving eventually to West Vancouver, where son Larry and daughter Allice grew up. Kathleen returned to university in mid-life, acquiring first a Bachelor's degree then a Master's in education and was a teacher/librarian at West Vancouver Secondary school when Ken died, much too young. After coming to terms with the loss of Ken, Kathleen met and later married Hanohano, beloved Gramps to all Kathleen's grandchildren. They settled on Maui, Hanohano's home, and were warmly accepted by his extended Hawaiian family, living there full time until his retirement. Then began a wonderful period alternating half-yearly between Maui and Penticton, with family and friends waiting at each destination. Sadly Kathleen once again had to deal with a huge loss when Hanohano passed away. Shortly after that she decided to make Penticton her full time home. Here she has thrived, enjoying and mutually supporting her close and valued friends, and living close to her Canadian family. Most recently Kathleen has been living at Penticton's Village-by-the-Station and we as a family stand in awe of the level of care and personal attention she received there - thank you guys, you were wonderful. So, from children Larry (Wendie) and Allice (George), from grandchildren Jocelyn (Erryn), Leigh, Kevan (Tess), Corby (Jerica) and Katalina, from greatgrandchildren Kai and Lucien and from the whole of the extended Hawaiian ohana ... all our love, Kathleen, in memory as in life, and congratulations on a life well and fully lived. Kathleen supported many charities and organizations during her life, so she would have appreciated your kindness in donating to a cause close to your heart while you remember her, in lieu of flowers. A private family gathering will take place over Thanksgiving. Condolences may be sent to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com
