KATHERINE (KAY) SOLIMKA On May 7, 2005, a month before her 75th birthday, peacefully in her sleep, Kay passed away after a long and courageous battle with cancer. She is survived by her husband and soul mate, Ed of 53 years; her two sons, Vince (Debbie) and Court (Cynthia); grandchildren, Kimberly and Mark. She was predeceased by her only brother Frank Schaab. Kay was born and raised in the North End of Winnipeg, married Ed in 1951 and shortly thereafter bought a home and raised their family in Wildwood Park. Mom loved life and lived it to the fullest. Some of her favourite moments were enjoyed at the family cottage at Lake Lac du Bonnet. Kay always loved to compete and was involved in many activities throughout her life that included, curling, five pin bowling, mahjong, bridge and many other card games. Mom's humour, laughter and loving ways will be greatly missed by family and friends alike. The family would like to thank the staff at Unit 5, 4th floor of the Seven Oaks Hospital for keeping her comfortable and a special thank you to Dr. D. Reimer for the compassionate and professional care shown to Mom. Additionally, the family would like to thank Dr. I. Maxwell and the dedicated staff of the Victoria Hospital, Oncology Department for their care and kindness. Following cremation, a celebration of Kay's life will be held on Thursday, May 12 at 2:00 p.m. at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main St. In lieu of flowers, donations in Kay's memory may be made to CancerCare Manitoba or the Victoria Hospital, Oncology Department.

We were next door neighbors of Kay and Ed for 15 years.Our daughter Susan was great friends with Courtney, they played "cars" together. Kay was a delightful neighbor, always a smile on her face, and it was a pleasure to hear her hearty laugh. Personality plus is how I would describe her. We played bridge and one night Ed might remember us girls, a little too much wine, serenading under Ed's bedroom window. I agree, with Leslie (Lynden) , "the world has lost a very beautiful person." Our very sincere condolences to Ed, Vince, Courtney . Irene, Phil, Susan and Nancy. - Posted by: The MacCready Family (Friend) on: May 10, 2005
