KATHLEEN MABEL ' KAY' HOWARTH
Kathleen was born on Hallowe'en Day to Edward and Elizabeth
Fletcher at Halesowen, England, October 31st, 1907. She came to
Canada in 1912 with her family to Calgary just in time to see the
first Calgary Stampede. Kay was united in marriage to William
Howarth in January, 1931 and farmed in the Balmoral community until
she moved to Red Deer in 1954. She loved horses and was a member
of The Light Horse Association and was the first woman to
demonstrate jumping horses in Red Deer at the fair in 1935. Kay
was known for her cooking and generosity in helping her neighbors
and family, especially at harvest time.
Kay joined the Balmoral Women's Institute in 1933 and was a
dedicated member to her last days. She served on the Sunshine
Committee for twenty- five years and a total of seventeen years in
executive positions in the branch. Kay was keen to help with all
of the projects, visit other branches, serve tea on an honoured
occasion and enjoyed celebrations like weddings, anniversaries,
card parties and dances. She entertained many friends and family
at dinners in her home. Balmoral W. I. members and friends will
remember Kay for her sense of humour.
The 50th Anniversary brought forth some memories from Kay's
time as a member and she related to the projects as follows; making
kid gloves, sewing men's pyjamas, knitting children's sweaters,
sewing a balaclava as well as the quilting bees. The branch took
pride in sewing many beautiful quilts.
Kay was an ardent follower of conferences, conventions
at the provincial level and the F. W. I. C. She was often the hostess
for the conferences.
Kay is survived by two sons, John ( Betty) Spenceley, Edward
' Ted' ( Dianne) Howarth of Red Deer and one daughter, Marilyn
Elizabeth ( Don) Thorn of Richmond, B. C. She also has eight
grandchil-' ' en and five great grandchildren.
Sadly missed and will be remembered by her Balmoral Women's
Institute friends.
