Notes"HARTEN, Kathleen
Peacefully on Friday, October 21, 2005, at William Osler Health Centre, Etobicoke. Kathleen was born in England, April 24, 1915 and was a long time resident of Kipling Acres, where she was much loved, and admired for her kind and cheerful disposition. Kathy was sent to Canada, as an orphan, by the British Government, with a boatload of young children in 1930, to work as a mother's helper. She soon after joined the family of the late Edna and Roy TASH, as a nanny for their daughters Norma (McFADDEN/ PEARCE) and Bette (BARRETT/ ESCH.) Kathy▼ lived with them in Montreal and Toronto for 50 years, becoming a treasured member of the family, and a 'second mother' to the girls. She was a beloved grandmother figure to their children: Doug, Dave, Wayne McFADDEN, Marilyn▼ STERN, and Bruce, Larry and Scott BARRETT. A dear great-grandmother of twelve. Although Kathy never married, she met the 'love of her life', the late Ernie SNODDEN at Kipling Acres. Many thanks to the staff, Friends and volunteers on the 4th floor who so ably cared for her. If desired, donations to Kipling Acres would be appreciated. Cremation has taken place. Private interment in the McFadden-Barrett family plot, Park Lawn Cemetery. "
