Katherine H. Marinoski

July 13, 2012

Katherine Marinoski
Katie Marinoski was predeceased by her parents, her sisters; Abby and Helen, three of her children; Gerry Buccini, Rick Parczen and Libby Marinoski.  She is survived by her children; Patty Garcia, Laura Marinoski, Theresa Bernes (Gordon) and Rachel Cameron, grandchildren; Danielle, Josh, Amanda, Justin, Thomas, Katelyn and Nickolaus, and great grandchild; Ava.  Katie started her life in Yugoslavia.  Her first years were war years, but she survived and immigrated to Canada.  She grew and thrived in her new adopted land.  Her passion in life was children.  She had seven of her own.  She was an outstanding mother and her love for children overflowed to the many children in her dayhome, who called her Granny Kay.  Her second passions were a tie between cooking and gardening, but as expected, all the children voted for cooking.  She had numerous health issues throughout her life, but faced them all with courage and dignity.  She was loved by many and will be missed greatly.  In lieu of flowers, please make donations to a children’s charity of your choice.
