It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Kathleen (Kay) Allen.

Kay was born on October 6, 1933 in Belturbet, County Cavan, Ireland and passed away peacefully on March 13 ^th at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital.

Kay was the loving wife of Maurice Allen for 66 years, mother of Laura (Don Spence), and grandmother to Kyle and Devin Spence.

She is predeceased by her brothers Gerry and Jim Baxter, and sister Maura Waller and is survived by her sisters-in-law Maureen Baxter, Pat Baxter, and Jenny Allen, her brother-in-law Ross Allen, godchild Dr. Janet Pierson, and all of her wonderful nieces and nephews.

Kay and Maurice met while working at the Coal Board in London, England. They soon opened a shop in Kent and then embarked on their relocation to Canada in 1958. Kay started her career in Canada in the insurance industry and then spent many years at Memorex Canada sorting out the customs and brokerage business. Maurice and Kay loved their time in Florida, and Kelowna while visiting their grandsons, and their adventures around the world.

Kay will be missed by many of her friends including Wendy, the Green Family, Harry and Maureen, Angela, Arnell and Bill, Peter and Willy, and Diane Flood.

Our family would like to express our thanks to the dedicated nursing staff at Oakville Hospital, including Drs. Jane Aldridge and Heffernan, as well as the staff at Amica Bronte Harbour, and a very special thank you to her caregivers Heather, Angie, and Tina.

Funeral details to follow at a later date.
