Her family wishes to thank Dr. Ephrat, Dr. Scher, and the nurses at Douglas Memorial Hospital for their excellent care and extreme compassion of Katharine and her family. In accordance with Katharine’s wishes, cremation has taken place and a private funeral with her immediate family has been held at Williams Funeral Services in Ridgeway Ontario.
