Burke, Katherine Nee Johnson passed away peacefully and surrounded by family on April 23, 2019.
Beloved wife of the late Gerald Burke. Loving mother of Kerry (Yan Lortie) and Lindsay (Joshua Spence). Cherished grandmother of Quentin and Elliott. Sister to the late Kevin Johnson. She will be greatly missed by her brother Brian Johnson (Diane) and Joanne Johnson (Arnie). She was the daughter of the late Bernard Johnson and the late Katherine Hammill.
Kathy grew up in the Town of Mont Royal and had fond memories of family vacations to Ocean Park, Maine and Cape Cod. In 1970, she graduated from St. Joseph's Teacher's College where her passion for education began as well as many enduring friendships. She taught in many different schools in Montreal, sharing and inspiring youth to find the joy in reading and writing. Kathy went on to complete her Master's degree in Education in 1994, focusing on children's literacy development. She was an active member at St. Patrick's Square and continued to share her love of children's literature with a weekly story hour.
Kathy will be remembered by her family and friends who often shared trips together to Ocean Park, to Lake Champlain and later on in life, to H.O.G. Rallies with her husband, Gerry always by her side.
A funeral service will be held at Kane and Fetterly Funeral Home Chapel, 5301 Decarie Blvd (corner Isabella) on Wednesday, May 1, 2019 at 3:00 pm. Family will receive condolences from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm.
