Katherine Alane Hart

HART, Kate (Katherine) – Went to sleep peacefully at home on Saturday, June 16, 2018 with her family by her side. Beloved mother of Jason (Lauren) and Kaeti (Frank) and loving Nana to Julianna, Sam, Jackson and Madeline. Daughter of the late Norma and Raymond Bethke and cherished sister of Ray Jr. (Laura), Mike (Robin), and her siblings who pre-deceased her, Penny and Mark. Loving aunt of Cameron and Emma, Lindsey, Kimberley and Leah, Alex and Sebastian. Kate will be missed by her cousins, Jim Planinsheck and Mary Parrott and her many lifelong friends; most notably Doris and Darryl.

She lived her life as an adventure – quit her job and went back to school to follow her passions at age 50, hiked in the Grand Canyon, had numerous journeys with her cousins, and faced this past year with courage and determination. She's truly an exceptional person. Most of the people who know Kate share this perception. She has meant so much to so many people, being the best mother anyone could ask for, a loving sister and a wonderful friend, truly loyal to her core.

We will always remember Kate for her sense of humour, love of nature, family and a good scotch.

She will be sorely missed by everyone who had the privilege of knowing her.

We will be celebrating her exceptional life in the weeks ahead. In lieu of flowers, donations to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre – Odette Cancer Centre would be appreciated.

Good night, mom. We love you, see you in the morning, sweet dreams…"
