Katherine Warn Obituary
Katherine, also known as Grandma, Nanny, and Nanny Flowers, was a beloved figure to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She had a passion for gardening and was a dedicated lifelong learner, devouring about 100 books annually, many of which focused on family genealogy. Her family held a special place in her heart, and she took immense pride in her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren.
In her career, Katherine thrived as a skilled seamstress, plying her trade in various clothing stores and offering her services privately from her home. She was a meticulous and talented artisan who left a lasting impact on those she worked with.
Outside of work, Katherine found joy in her hobbies of gardening and genealogy. Her caring nature and warm personality touched all those she encountered, leaving a positive influence wherever she went.
Katherine is survived by her children Wayne (Linda), Glenn (Margaret), Joyce (Dan), as well as her grandchildren Shane, Shawn, April (Philip), Brendan (Nikki), Elizabeth, Mathew (Julie), and a multitude of great and great-great-grandchildren. She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Henry Warn, daughter-in-law Linda Warn, and grandson Shane Warn.
Katherine's funeral service will be held at Sands Funeral Chapel, 1 Newcastle Ave, Nanaimo, BC V9S 4H6, on June 22, 2024, at 12:30 pm. Flowers are welcomed and appreciated at Sands Chapel in honor of Katherine's memory.

I was sure Kay had passed when my phone calls went unanswered, and then her number not in service. Only today I found out for sure.
Kay was my Mom´s 1st cousin, although they never met....the Maloney's were a huge group.
I met Kay on my first trip over to Nanaimo a number of years ago. But many many years ago we had written many times. Then she was still at home looking after her husband. We both shared the passion of genealogy.
Now she´s with all those ancestors we loved to talk about and solved many mysteries
Such a wonderful person

She was a beautiful lady, in more ways then i can count. She taught me so much in gardening, things i will never forget. She was amazing with her grandaughter, even made her a teddy bear picnic quilt that is precious to us. And of course the book she made that had her grandaughters name in it along with her cousins. Loved her cooking , and we had a good giggle over her burnt sugar gravy all the time =) You will be missed. I hope you are dancing in heaven with grandpa, and hugging shayne for us !!

My sincerest condolences to Glen, Margaret and their family.
I first met Kay in her retirement home. I thought my goodness she always had the biggest smile that was so heartwarming. Such a precious and sweet lady. She will be missed.
