PATTENDEN; Kathleen Marie. June 23, 1959 ~ March 12, 2014. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Kathy Pattenden after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Kathy was born in Vancouver on June 23, 1959. She lived with her family in various townships of BC including Trail, Kimberly, Prince George, North Delta and Langley. She eventually returned to her roots and settled in the city of Chilliwack. She was a very devoted mother to her three children and spent much of her efforts in supporting the fulfillment of their lives which included school fund raisers, music lessons, skating lessons, swimming lessons, as well as managing her daughters youth soccer team. It was through her infectious caring smile that enabled her to touch the hearts of many people stricken with similar disease offering them hope, courage and strength to continue onward. She is survived by her loving husband Chad of 28 years, their three children, Bradley, Rachel and Graham; her parents Bob and Rita Braun; brothers, Ken, Rob (Kim), Don (Jana); and nieces and nephews. A celebration of life will be held at 1:00 pm, Saturday, March 29 at the River of Life Evangelical Community Church, 42369 South Sumas Road, Greendale. A reception will follow immediately in the church basement. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the BC Cancer Society via envelopes at the church. The family wishes to thank Dr. Julia Bright (family Dr.), Dr. Bull (Cascade Hospice), the nursing staff and volunteers of the Abbotsford Cancer Clinic, the Integrated Health Clinic Fort Langley, including the Christine Morrison Hospice and Cascade Hospice for all the warm and compassionate care given to Kathy.
