Peacefully, surrounded by loving care, our Mom, Catherine Anne McKenzie (nee Kennedy) passed peacefully in her 99th year.

Predeceased by her beloved husband William Andrew McKenzie (2004), her brother James Frederick Kennedy (2016) and her son-in-law Murray Armstrong (1999). 

Lovingly missed by her daughters Jane Armstrong, Julie Gilbert, Martha White (Michael) and Andrea Tillmann.

Much loved Grandmother to Leigh Berg (Gavin), Jennifer Passmore (Murray), Kate Gilbert (Simon Fisher), Andrew Gilbert (Erin), James Mowat (Lesley), Caroline Walsh (Philip), David Tillmann (Emmie) and Michael Tillmann.

Great Grandmother (GG) to Oliver, Willa, Theo, Lyla, Oliver, Lucas, Madison and Stella.

Born in London, Ontario, on August 24, 1928, Mom attended Havergal College in Toronto. She graduated from the University of Western Ontario in 1949 and thereafter married Bill McKenzie in 1950 to begin their life journey together.

Mom enjoyed her many childhood summers at Glen Bernard Camp, followed by summers at the McKenzie cottage on Lake Huron, playing with her grandkids at the Corley Drive pool as well as their many winters in Jupiter, Florida. 

Mom was an active member of the May Court Club in London and The London Hunt Club where she served as Ladies Past President.

The tennis courts, weekly bridge games with her long time friends and Pilates classes were always calling her into action, even into her early 90’s. 

Predeceased by many, many lifelong friends who date back to her childhood in London as well as her years at UWO.

Many thanks and gratitude to Christian and the remarkable caregivers from ‘Senior Homecare by Angels’ who were at her side during her final years. 

Additionally the family would like to thank Dr. Matusa and her palliative team for their compassionate care of Mom.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Mom's memory may be made to the London Health Sciences Foundation https://lhsf.ca/ways-give/memorial-giving or the charity of your choice.
