In loving memory of Katheryn “Kitty” Adams of Kamloops, BC who passed away peacefully at Kamloops Hospice on the morning of Sunday, June 24, 2018 at the age of 70, after battling cancer for a year and a half.

Kitty was born in Magrath, Alberta on January 31, 1948. She attended  Catholic school, and helped take care of her five siblings growing up. Kitty worked in her family‘s restaurant business, where she met the love of her life, Ed in 1965. Kitty married Ed on November 12, 1966 in Kamloops, BC, and began their life and family together as Kitty worked in sales to help make their dreams reality. Kitty retired early to be able to have more time with her family, and to go hunting and fishing with Ed.

Kitty is survived by her daughter Cheri-Lee Chicoine,  her grandchildren Adaira Chicoine and Tanner (Michaela) Chicoine, her great granddaughter Lucy Chicoine, her brother Nick (Gabriele) Esser and family, her sister Marilyn (Harold) Oliver and family, her mother Mary Bruce, and numerous aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.

Kitty is predeceased by her firstborn Sandra, her husband Ed, her father Wayne, her stepfather Rod, both sets of grandparents, her in-laws, her brothers Ernie, Frank, and  John, and her three uncles, John, Frank and Carl and other family members and friends.

Special thanks to Dr. Gabriel and the staff at the cancer clinic, Dr. Stefanyk, the nurses, doctors and the staff at Royal Inland Hospital, the staff at Pratt’s Pharmacy, the Interior Health Home Support Team (Dana), the incredible and special staff at Kamloops Hospice, Pastor Vern, the Kamloops Funeral Home (Natasha), Kitty’s dear friend Doreen for her continued support, Kitty’s loving granddaughter Adaira (her best “sweetie) for always tending to every need,  and her loving daughter Cheri-Lee (her “baby girl”) forever by her Mom’s side and always being there for countless sleepless nights, and taking the best care of her mom possible throughout Kitty’s entire journey, day and night. Kitty said her daughter was her lifeline.

Kitty was such an incredibly sweet and unique woman. She enjoyed arts and crafts, getting funky nail designs, tattoos, piercings, and had the greatest sense of humour, many will agree. Kitty will be dearly missed and never forgotten.

We love you sooo very much!! ~ love you more!!
