COUTTS, Mary Kathryn (Kaye) - In loving memory of Mary Kathryn (Kaye) Coutts, age 91, who passed away peacefully on October 19, 2017 at McCall Health Care Centre after a valiant struggle with vision and heart issues.
Kaye, one of six children, born on January 18, 1926 to Mary and Ernest Blizzard at Fredericton, New Brunswick.
Married to Charles Russell Coutts, a career army officer, Kaye's early years revolved around raising children and dealing with the rigors of army life in such exotic locales such as Rivers, Manitoba and Fort Rucker, Alabama, to mention just a couple and "running the show" when her husband was away on Deployment.
In later years the family settled in the Brampton, Ontario area where Kaye pursued a career in real estate.
Predeceased by her husband Charles and brother Don; she is survived by her sisters Jean, Jet, Joyce and Margaret, her son David, daughter Susan and daughter-in-law Tricia. Kaye was a generous and loving grandmother to Stephanie, Kaitlin, Sydney, James and Derek and great-grandmother to our newest addition Henry. The family would like to give a special thanks to Kaye's longtime helper, caregiver and friend, Tanya, who brought so much quality of life to Kaye in her later years!
We would also like to thank the staff at Heritage House as well as Trillium and McCall Health Care Centre for their caring efforts and compassion on Kaye's behalf. Cremation has taken place and as per her wishes, there will be no formal service.
A private family gathering will occur at a later date at Kaye's final resting place, in St. Catharines, Ontario.
In lieu of flowers, a donation to Heritage House, Trillium Health Care Centre or McCall Centre would be appreciated.
