Katie was born in Winkler, MB on September 26, 1947 where she grew into a beautiful young lady. For a short time she lived in St. Catherine’s, ONT until she took up final residence in Oak Bluff, MB in 1972 to raise her two boys. She was very involved in the community, as she was part of the volunteer ambulance, palliative care and coaching baseball. When not hard at work with water delivery or at the art gallery, she delivered Meals on Wheels. In 1989 she met Josef and they began their life together. As entrepreneurs they were involved in the trucking industry, Red Oak Gallery, and KC’S Drive-In. Together they grew a successful life that allowed for travelling to many destinations. Katie always made time to help those she loved with open arms and a big heart.
