Kay Miller
With great sadness we announce the passing of Kathleen (Kay) Marjorie Miller, 86, at the Kelowna General Hospital on October 8, 2016.
Kathleen was born May 20, 1930 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, one of eight children born to Walter Wach and Marjorie Short. The family moved to Winnipeg and years later relocated to Atikokan to open a small grocery store (Ideal Confectionary). Kathleen followed shortly afterwards and worked alongside her parents.
She met and married Maurice Miller and together they had six children. Kay worked at various jobs throughout the years. She retired from her position as a knife sharpener at the former Pluswood Plant in 1991.
Over the years, Kay collected a library of cookbooks. She was an excellent cook and enjoyed preparing meals for her family. Kay especially loved to bake and also tried her hand at cake decorating. Her other interests included knitting, needlepoint, ceramics, and, her favourite, paper tole.
Family was near and dear to her heart and Kay loved the time spent with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Kay also devoted time to various organizations and was always willing to help others.
She will be forever missed by her children Judy (Keith Ardelian), Wayne (Lorraine Miller), and Darryl (Desiree Tiburcio); grandchildren Galen, Ryan, Kristine, Mallory, Melissa and Dale, and great grandchildren, Savannah and Jayden. Kay also leaves behind sisters Verna Robertson and Merlene Netterfield and brothers Lawrence Wach, Ernest Walker (her twin), Ronald Walker and Arnold Walker.
She was pre-deceased by husband Maurice, a daughter Merle, sons Dale and Brett, and her brother Leonard Wach.
A celebration of life will be held at the Legion hall in Atikokan on Thursday, October 20, at 1 pm. Memorial donations may be made to the Atikokan General Hospital Foundation.
