Kaye was born in Blantyre, Scotland on December 9. 1904; she grew up in Glasgow and Calgary, where she met her husband Ken in 1 925. They were married in 1930 and moved to Ottawa, where Ken joined National Research Council. They enjoyed skiing and canoeing. After WW II they moved to Deep River and then to Toronto, where Kaye learned to drive a car at the age of 50. She saw and adapted to many changes, growing up in a time when everyone walked, took streetcars and trains. Her life involved travel across Canada, to Europe and the West Indies. She lived in Florida and West Vancouver after retirement. Everywhere she went she made new friends. Her love of dancing and exercising was infectious and she danced up until a few days before her death. She inspired family and friends with her joy and enthusiasm. Her wisdom about living a long life was to ’keep moving and to give a compliment not a complaint’. Special thanks to her friends, Del and Maggie, and the staff at Arnica. Burnaby and West Vancouver for their love and care; and to the staff at Lions Gate Hospital and Evergreen TCU for caring for Kaye in her last weeks of life.
A private family celebration of her life was held in West Vancouver, BC. A memorial service will be held at First St. Andrew’s United Church in London, Ontario, Saturday, September 8th, 2007 at two o’clock.
