KATHLEEN B. DAVIS Kathleen B. Davis, of Winnipeg, MB, passed away Monday, December 2, 2013 at Grace Hospice, after a lengthy illness. Kae is survived by her daughter Lynn Kozak, of St. Andrews, NB; sister Margaret Henderson, of Winnipeg; grandsons David (Jennifer) Kozak, Mark (Jill) Kozak, and Ryan Kozak; great-grandchildren Benjamin, Ethan, Evan, Cady, Eva and Gabrielle, all of New Brunswick. She was predeceased by her brother David; husband Samuel James Davis, and son-in-law Walter Kozak. Kae was born in Winnipeg on February 24, 1925, the youngest daughter of the late Kathleen (Wood) and David Henderson. She loved visiting her family in St. Andrews, NB, where she spent many summers and Christmas seasons, along with her sister Margaret. Kae was drawn to the ocean and loved breathing in the salt air. More than that, she loved sharing her life with her daughter, Lynn. Gigi, as she was fondly known by her great-grandchildren, had a love of travel, which took her to many exotic destinations around the world. Kae spent her last years devoted to her loving partner Philip Young, who passed away just hours later, on December 3, 2013. They spent many years wintering in Texas, attending Goldeyes games, golfing, curling and attending the symphony. Philip’s large family was near and dear to Kae’s heart. Prior to her retirement, Kae worked for the City of Winnipeg. Those who knew her will remember her as a kind and caring woman who always put others first. There will be no funeral service, at Kae’s request. She will be interred in the St. Andrews Rural Cemetery in New Brunswick. The family would like to thank the staff of the Grace Hospice for their exceptional care. Donations can be made in Kae’s memory to Grace Hospice in Winnipeg.
