LAURA KIS Obituary
It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of our dear mother, grandmother and great grandmother on October 5th, 2023 at Pioneer Ridge. Laura was born August 10, 1931, the same day as her father in Alberta, Canada. Shortly after the family came to settle in Fort William. Laura married the love of her life Walter and had 5 beautiful children. In the process of raising her 5 children she furthered her education by becoming a nurse. She worked at McKellar, Westmount and retired from Grandview Lodge. She had a great talent for investing in real estate, always wore her white hard hat LOL! Laura had a passion for cooking her "Dobre" cabbage rolls. Laura gathered her family every year to make her delicious apple pies that came from her own apple trees. Laura loved to shop "did she shop"! Eaton's surprise sale was her favorite with lunch to follow. She volunteered and was an active member along with her husband Walter at the Robertson Ukrainian Hall/Church. Laura was well loved and known for her great sense of humor. Laura was predeceased by her husband Walter Sr., son Walter Jr., parents Lawrence and Mary, her brothers Bill, Anthony and Edward Garbos. Laura is survived by daughters Janet (Ken), Helen Coghlan (Bob), Catherine Lamb, Raymond (Morizia). Grandchildren Shamus Coghlan (Julia), Lovina Gladu (Jeremiah), Vanessa Lamb, Erika Comeau (Aaron), Stephen (Ashly), Jennifer Rathje (Blake), Lauren Speer (Daniel), Nicole, Brittany and 17 great grandchildren. At this time our family would like to thank the doctors, staff at Pioneer Ridge for all their care, compassion and friendship over the years. Cremation has already taken place. There will be an announcement at a later date for a celebration of life for our mom. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Ukrainian War fund.

To the Kia Family deepest condolences I work with your Mom at Grandview Lodge and then when she came to live at Pioneer Ridge I always enjoyed chatting with her. She was a great nurse and a wonderful woman.

Laura was a wonderful woman with a great sense of humour. I have known her for almost 60 years as she is my close friend´s mother. She was a fabulous cook and tried many times to teach Cathie and I to make Ukrainian dishes but they were never as good as hers. She was compassionate, understanding a hard worker and a great person. I am very thankful to have met Laura and had her in my life. I will miss you. RIP Laura
