We are extremely saddened to advise of Kathy’s peaceful passing at home in Victoria, BC on  February 13, 2017 at the age of 65 after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Born in Hamilton, ON on January 7, 1952, she was the eldest child of John and Margaret (Peggy) Hall.

Kathy lived her early life in the Greater Toronto Area until 2000 then she moved to Vancouver, BC.  She achieved a BA in Social Sciences from the University of Toronto and an MBA from York University, as well as certifications FICB, CCM and (Honours) CSC.  Her affiliations included Past President of the Insurance Companies Treasury Management Association, and Director and Secretary of the Treasury Management Association of Canada (Toronto chapter).

Kathy worked in the Financial Services industry for more than 30 years including 17 years with the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC).  She excelled in customer service and developed and maintained a large portfolio of high-value sophisticated financial services clients until her retirement from RBC in 2015.

Kathy spent her later years in Victoria, BC guiding and nurturing her daughter, Margaret (Meg), with her studies and providing support to her parents John and Peggy. Kathy took great pride in the many artistic and academic accomplishments of Meg who is currently a student at the University of Victoria.

She is survived by her mother Peggy, Victoria BC; sister Susan, Rose Bay NS; brother John (Heather), Waterdown ON; daughter Meg, Victoria BC. She is predeceased by her father John Hall.

A Memorial Service will be held at Saint Dunstan’s Anglican Church, 1806 San Juan Avenue, Victoria, BC V8N 2H9 on Saturday, February 18, 2017 at 200pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Red Cross 909 Fairfield Road, Victoria, BC V8V 3A3

    So sorry to hear about Kathy’s passing. We had many lovely lunches talking about our kids when she was at RBC in Vancouver. I remember sitting on tiny chairs for our mothers day tea at My Little School House. She was very proud of Meg. She also went above and beyond for her clients.

    It has become a cliche to say that someone has “battled” with cancer, but in Kathy’s case it seems that word is very appropriate. I know it has been a protracted struggle and that Kathy displayed much strength throughout the ordeal. I was very sorry to hear that she had passed last week. My sincere sympathy to all the family, particularly Meg, at this very sad time. – Linda Loth, Susan’s friend and former Kingsburg neighbour

    Oh Meg and family, I was so sorry to hear of Kathy’s passing. We worked together at Royal Bank in Toronto and formed a great friendship. We had many good times while working not to mention several fun times and laughs outside of work. She was a wonderful woman, so kind and thoughtful. I remember our first meeting, I walked into her office to introduce myself and saw a picture of a sweet little girl on her desk. I asked who that sweet one was and she beamed and said “my daughter Meg”. Nothing gave her greater pleasure than to talk about you, you were her world Meg! My deepest condolences to you and your family.
