Kathleen leaves behind her loving partner and best friend, Majda Mekis. Predeceased by her deeply loved brother and sister Michael and Maureen Mawson.

Big, big hugs to her special girls (nieces) Caitlin and Siobhan Lawrence-Pelzer; her beloved sisters Jacqueline and her husband Craig, and Rosalyn and her husband Daniel. Love to "her boys" Ben and Mookie. Kathleen was the heart of our family. To the very last moment she lived her life with great energy and gentle appreciation for all she encountered along her way. Words cannot express the depth of our pain and loss. She will be missed and remembered by her family and friends, but, for all of us, will remain the light of our lives.
