Mom was predeceased by her husband Raymond; parents, Margaret and Alfred Peatman; and sisters, Adelaide and Pat. A devoted mother and grandmother, she enjoyed family gatherings, visiting relatives and looking after her grandchildren. Her sense of humour will always be remembered. Born and raised in Winnipeg, Kaye attended Earl Grey Elementary / Junior High School and Kelvin High School where she excelled in sports. She took pride in her years of work at Eaton's, where she served as a comptometer operator. Mom indulged her adventurous spirit through travels across Canada and abroad to Belgium, England, Australia and New Zealand. She exercised her active mind through a love of reading, playing bridge, and doing crossword puzzles. Her creativity was expressed through many hobbies, including gardening, ceramics, cooking, baking, knitting and crochet. In her later years, Kaye was an enthusiastic participant at the Charleswood Adult Day Club, and also enjoyed activities at the Robert A. Steen Day Hospital Program. She valued the many friends she met there over the years. The family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and health care workers who provided Kaye with care and support.
