In Celebration of

Kathryn Cowin

August 8, 1942 - June 23, 2020

After a brief battle with cancer, heaven called up another angel. Kathryn Cowin, loving wife for over 52 years to William Burritt Cowin, passed peacefully on Tuesday, June 23, 2020. Beloved mother to Deborah Lynn Cowin and William Burritt Jr. Cowin. Cherished grandma to Kelsey Anne Cowin, Kylie Rose Cowin and Abby Lynn Cowin. Sister to Gerri Hyde and David Fulton. Predeceased by parents Rose and Charles Fulton and brother Robert Fulton.

Kathryn was an avid reader. She always wanted to go for long drives! She loved to travel, trips to Hawaii, Cuba and Las Vegas (but not to gamble, just for shows!) were among her favourites. She was a proud 'super fan' of her grand-daughters softball and hockey games.

Thanks to LHIN Mississauga-Halton, Heart House Hospice, Dr. Gilchrest of the Dorothy Ley Hospice, and Care Partners. Special thanks to all PSWs, Occupational Therapist Gunjan and especially nurses Nadia, and Nora who went above and beyond in helping Kathryn and us. And an extra special thank-you to Nataliya for coordinating things.

Entered October 5, 2020 from La Jolla, Ca 92037 USA

Kathryn and I became pen pals in 1958 through my Cousin who had emigrated to Canada.
I emigrated to Cincinnati, Ohio in 1962. as an Ou pair girl , I worked in a family in Cincinnati ,Ohio,. When the mother of the family took herself + her 4 kids and myself to the Niagara Falls in summer of 1973 ,Kathryn came to meet me and brought my very first letter I wrote her in English, which was terrible. We had a good laugh !
Since then, we wrote regularity , birthdays and Holidays.
I loved reading her every day happenings with her family, ice hockey with the grand kids , Bert's steady support and love. Wish , I could have met him !!
Love you Burt and take care of yourself .
If you like to keep in touch, please write to me.
love, Edda/Steve
