McLAUGHLIN, Kathleen Agnes Mudge "Kay"
Died February 24, 2008. She was 92. After a long life, well-lived,
our Mother was and always will be loved for her joy, her inspiration,
her faith, her relentless optimism and her unconditional love.
Her darling Maurice, our Father, died in 1985. Since that time,
she depended on and cherished her five daughters, one son and
their families: Anne Kathleen
McLAUGHLIN
(GSIC,)
Mary
McLAUGHLIN,
Margaret McLAUGHLIN,
Patricia
McLAUGHLIN and her children Matthew
and Kate VAUTHIER,
Kathy
FRAUMENI and her husband John and their
children, Colleen and her husband Karl, Mary Kate, Christopher
and John Paul, and Ted
McLAUGHLIN and his wife
Wendy and their
children, Tara, Jim and Sean. She will be loved and missed by
her New Brunswick family including her brother Vincent and her
sister Madelon. Our Aunt Helen
BROWN,
Mom's dearest eldest sister
died in 2004. Their children and grandchildren will miss and
mourn their Aunt Kay. Mom attended Normal School in New Brunswick.
Soon after, she married Maurice, in 1940. His work took him from
New Brunswick to several cities in Ontario, finally to London
in 1967 where Mom returned to teaching, having raised her six
children. Mom taught in a number of elementary Catholic schools
in London. She treasured her students, many of whom continued
to visit her after she retired. Her love of children and their
education led her to become a Trustee of the London Catholic
School Board where she served three terms. Throughout her life
she demonstrated leadership whenever and wherever she became
involved. At various times and places she served as President
of the Catholic Women's League, the Rotary Anns and the Parent-Teacher
Association. In her latter years she was the Southwestern Ontario
scribe for the International Harvester Retirees Newsletter, a
labour of love she continued until age 90. She will be remembered
by her Friends as a woman full of laughter who was unstoppable
at a Bridge game, never without an opinion, always armed with
a good story, and famous for her hats. Friends will be welcomed
by the family at Donohue Funeral Home, 362 Waterloo Street, at
King Street, London, on Tuesday February 26 from 2-4 and 7-9.
Father Michael
BECHARD will celebrate a funeral Mass of thanksgiving
for our Mother's life at The Chapel, Windermere on the Mount,
Richmond Street North at Windermere, on Wednesday, February 27,
at 1pm., followed by interment at Saint Peter's Cemetery. Donations
to the St. Vincent de Paul Society where our father volunteered
for many years, would be appreciated.
