Kathleen Joan Reid ‘Kathi’
June 23, 1949 – February 10, 2018

After a courageous battle with cancer and kidney disease, Kathi passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of her family at Campbell House Hospice, Collingwood. Beloved wife and best friend of Larry for over 47 years; proud mother of Ryan (Heather) and Jonathan (Tristana) will be forever cherished by her grandchildren Emma, Ivy and Leo. Kathi was a graduate of the University of Windsor and Toronto General Hospital Nursing program; she had a 20-year career in Public Health Nursing and was a business woman/partner with husband Larry at the Gateway Restaurant and Tavern. She was dedicated to her community and served as a volunteer with Georgian Triangle Humane Society, as Board Member and President; awarded for excellence and distinction with appointment of Director Emeritus. As an avid family boater summers would find Kathi at Beckwith, Honey Harbour or Killarney and winters would take her with her family skiing to Vermont, Colorado and Blue Mountain/Toronto Ski Club. Kathi’s, determination, kindness and gentle spirit will be remembered by all who knew her. The family extends special thanks to Dr. Savage, Dr. Ghandi, Dr. Lamb and all the nurses in the Dialysis Unit at Collingwood G&M Hospital.
