AUDREY KIRKPATRICK

1926-2026 On February 19th, in her hundredth year, Audrey (née Dawe) passed away at Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver. Born in Toronto to the late 'Pheme' Stafford and Alec Dawe, she was predeceased by her husband, Walter (in 1994) and brothers, Alex and Donald. She leaves behind her loving family: children, Nancy (Michael), Ian (Candace) and Karin Kirkpatrick; grandchildren, Daniel, Gavin and Alex Kirkpatrick, Conor McCarthy, and Kaelan McKechnie; and great-grandchildren, Eva, Hannah, Nora, and Emma. Our mom worked outside the home at a time when that was unusual. She and our father lived in Don Mills, Edmonton, and Abbotsford. After being widowed, she built a new life in North Vancouver, BC. Mom was a SuperAger with a curious mind who enjoyed discussing the news of the day with family and friends. She overcame many health challenges with resilience and perseverance, including a life-long hearing impairment. We thank staff at Summerhill PARC who helped make Audrey's final years enjoyable. Donations in her memory can be made to the Lions Gate Hospital Foundation. A celebration of life will be held in late March.
