Obituary of Katherine Robertson

(Nee Shenkariuk)

August 2, 1928 - January 30, 2008

It is with great sadness we mourn the loss of Katherine Robertson to a battle with cancer. She was born in Shandro, Alberta. Kay moved to Edmonton with her Family where she attended school and later worked. There she met and married her husband Paul in 1953. In 1965 Kay and her Family moved to Cranbrook, where her husband's business, towing mobile homes brought them. She worked side by side with her husband for many years running the office for his business and helping him on road trips, until he retired due to illness. Katherine lived for family and friends. She loved to have her Grandchildren come and stay with her and anxiously awaited get togethers with family from out of town. She also loved to crochet and do crafts, most of which she would give to family, friends and The Church Bazaars.
