Katherine Margaret Bogue

We are sad to announce the passing of Kay on July 22, 2022 in London, Ontario.

Kay had two brothers, Allan(Millie) and David(Beth); was a wife to Don for 62 years; loving mother to Janet (Terry) and Ian (Joanne). She was a proud grandmother to Sam, Max (Aleks), Henry, Anna (Andrew), Sara, and great-grandmother to 8-month old Wally(Off).

Kay was born in Calgary on February 15, 1929. She spent most of her early years in North Vancouver, where she met Don at North Vancouver High School and married in 1951. Kay and Don lived in Toronto and Peterborough when first married, and spent over 50 years in Donnacona, Lac Sept Iles, Trois Rivieres, and Beaconsfield (Montreal).

Kay and Don enjoyed an active sporting and social life as long time members of the Baie D’Urfe Curling Club. She even made it to the Quebec Provincials with her team! She also enjoyed many years sailing with Don and went to regattas throughout North America.

Kay was very creative and had a flare for fashion and sewing, which she taught for some years. She was always making clothes for her children and grandchildren, recovering upholstery, making boat seats, curtains, and could repair or create anything that required a needle and thread. She also created some beautiful stained glass artwork.

Kay and Don enjoyed many summers in their retirement at their cottage in Queensland, Nova Scotia.

A family ceremony will be held in Nova Scotia in September. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Thrombosis Canada (https://thrombosiscanada.ca/).
