OAKDEN, Kay Veronica

It is with deepest sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our loving Mother on January 12th, 2023. Kay was predeceased by our Dad Gary in 2021. Left to mourn are Daughters Kim (Glayne) Sundby, Kelly (Paul) Vos, Tracy Oakden, Pam (Bonnie) Oakden; Grandchildren Josh( Katie), Sarah (Brandon), Paullus (Nequilla), Megan (Mike), Graham (Ginny), Randi (Matt), Hannah, and Mack; Great Grandchildren Gibson, Violet, Magnus, Rustin, Sophie, Owen, River, William, Anna, Waylon, and Dutton; Sister-in-law Anita (Allan) Phillpots; Brother Matt Frank, and Sister Eva Reimer.

Kay was born in Prud'homme Saskatchewan July 9th, 1935. She later moved to New Westminster where she eventually met Gary and Married in 1957. They moved to Kamloops in 1967 where they raised their 4 girls on Fleetwood avenue. After Retiring in 1990, they spent their time at the Bonaparte Lake, golfing and travelling to various countries including USA, Mexico, Cuba, Australia, and New Zealand.

After Dad passed she moved to River Bend where she enjoyed bowling with her friends. Mom also enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her Grandkids. She enjoyed cross stitching and painting; a little known fact she was a commissioned painter.

Her passing came too soon but she is with Dad now sipping a Margarita and watching a sunset. We are all so proud of Mom for donating her body to the UBC Body Donation Research Program.

A private celebration of Mom's life will be held at a later date.
