SCHELLENBERG, Katharina (Katie)
1929 - 2015
Katie was born in Rosthern, Saskatchewan, the fifth child of Russian
immigrants, Peter and Helena Driedger. As a young woman, she moved with her family from Saskatchewan to the Vancouver area where she met and married her husband George. They had eight children. Although she had limited opportunity to pursue a formal education, Katie was intellectually curious and a voracious reader. She enjoyed needlepoint, game shows and followed professional golf, especially the career of Tiger Woods. Katie is predeceased by her husband George (George the Cobbler, 2008), daughter Barbara (1965), parents (Peter, 1972 and Helena, 1977), sister Susanna Graf (2007), brothers Henry (1924), Peter
(2007), and Rudy (2007). Left to mourn are her surviving children: Kathryn, Christine Mason (Gary), Kenneth, Bruce, Stephen (Tina), David, and Patricia McKenna (Steve). She also leaves grandsons, Robert, Alexander, step-grandson, Cameron, sisters Helen Langston (Fred), Olga (Rudge) and many dear friends and members of the extended Driedger and Schellenberg families. Graveside Service will be held at 2:00 pm Monday, October 26th at Murrayville Cemetery. Donations are preferred, in lieu of flowers to the Alzheimer's Society.
