OFFORD, Kathleen Hankins

It is with deep sorrow and so much love for the beautiful soul of Kathleen Hankins Offord who is finally at peace and rest with our Heavenly Father. Kathie passed away at 64 years young at midnight on July 26 2016 at the Red Deer Regional Hospital. Kathie was born on February 23, 1952 in Edmonton Alberta. Kathie resided in Red Deer with her sweet husband and best friend, Irv Offord. She leaves a deep void in all the lives she touched through her amazing and sometimes trying journey in life. Always the survivor she loved with fierce abandon asking nothing in return but giving everything of herself.

She will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by the following family members who will grieve the loss of her smile, her laughter, her witty humor and undeniable intelligence, devoted husband, Irv Offord; his caring children and grandchildren; sister-in-law, Marg Wolf (Gord); brothers-in-law, Gord Offord and Allan Offord (Pat); her amazing and wonderful sisters, Wilma Brunken, Eleanor Jehn, Patricia Mayr (Gerry Lemieux), Connie Larsen and Elaine Fischer; many incredible nieces, nephews,  grand nieces and nephews and her wonderful cousins. Kathie will also be missed by many close friends who became family to both Kathie and Irv. She was a loving wife sister, sister-in-law, mother, grandmother, auntie, not only to her own family but to many others who became her family in her journey in life. Kathie loved and accepted unconditionally without restrictions, including her children Trenton Ward, Troy Ward and Tasha Ward-Stang.

Kathie was a positive person who chose to celebrate life and so in keeping with her wishes a Celebration of Kathie’s Life will follow at a later date.
