I’m so sorry to hear of Kathleen’s passing. I worked with her in my Penner years. She was lovely and sweet. I’ll never forget that she helped me with her special points of view. We too kept in touch over the past 30 years that I have been away from St Catharine’s. My heartfelt condolences to her family and friends

I am so very sorry to read of Kathleen’s passing. I worked with her at Penners Jewelry. She was a beautiful lady inside and out. . We kept in touch over the years and I have always enjoyed the continued friendship. I will miss ther friendship. Rest in Peace Kathleen.
Kathleen was my father’s best employee. My siblings and I grew up knowing her. Her kindness and happiness were always there. I remember picking her up to go to work when I started working with my dad. She loved asking my dad to say ‘mouse’ to hear his Canadian accent followed by the sweetest giggle. She and Ralph were warm loving and kind. My dad continued to drop by over the years to see her and her beloved garden. RIP and thank you for impacting the lives of our family. Love the Penner Family. Forever in our Hearts..
We had the honor to live beside Ralph and Kathleen for several years. Won’t forget when the use to come and get the kids so they could go watch the fish in the pond. We will miss our annual Christmas card which continued to years after we moved
