Rest in Peace Kay….. Whenever we would meet, at Fraser Church, the Masonic Lodge family nights, or just seeing you at the store, your smile was infectious. Your words were kind. We will miss you Kay but we know that you are now with John and your Heavenly Father. Our memories of you will live on. Deepest condolences to your remaining family.
Ken and Bonnie Pratt says
We are very sorry to learn of Kay’s passing. We got to know her and John so well from our Masonic Lodge and over the years after Bonnie’s mom passed, Kay would show up to the store with a tray of my favorite, date squares, for me, just because she knew mother made them for me. She actually gave me recipe when I retired and took up baking. her smile and her memories will not be forgotten.

So many beloved memories of Mrs. Abbott. She assisted me in obtaining several guiding badges. My most favourite was her help with baking. It warms me when I remember her calm and patient guidance.
