Kathleen GAMBLE Obituary
Pat passed away at Peterborough Hospice on July 9, 2024, after a long battle with cancer. Beloved wife of Raymond for 59 years; loving mother of Jennifer. Born in Belfast, N. Ireland, Pat moved to England in 1956, where she trained as a nurse at Oldchurch Hospital in Romford, Essex, and as a midwife in West Middlesex Hospital. She returned to Belfast and worked as a nurse at Belfast City Hospital until immigrating to Canada with her fiancé, Raymond, in July 1964. Pat and Raymond were married in East York in September 1964. Daughter, Jennifer, was born the following year. Pat was a career nurse and worked at Toronto General, East York, Saint John General, St. Anne de Bellevue, Ajax, and Providence Centre. Our thanks to Dr. Iqbal and the Cancer Care teams at Oshawa and Peterborough Hospitals for their care over a number of years. We cannot say enough about the loving care provided by the staff of Peterborough Hospice during the final period of Pat's life, with a special thank you to Dr. Whiting. Cremation has taken place, and in accordance with Pat's wishes, there will not be a Celebration of Life. Donations to Hospice Peterborough in Pat's memory would be appreciated.
