We Remember
HRYNUIK, Kathleen “Kathy” (née Gordon)
July 2, 1957 — October 30, 2023
At the young age of 66, Kathy Hrynuik passed away, while surrounded by the love of her family, on October 30, 2023.
Her spirit has gone to join her sister Colleen, her cousin Rob, and her bonus son Matthew. She leaves behind her son Justin; her daughter Selena (Nick); and granddaughter Phaedra; as well as her brothers Kenn (Deb) and Cameron (Sherry); her brother-in-law Donald; cousin Maureen (Greg); her nephews & nieces, James, Kelsey, Mackenzie, Michael, Daniel, Caitlyn, Andrea, Parris, Phoenix, Fox, and Spencer; and of course her faithful four-legged friend, her dog, Freyja.
Kathy’s home was more than just a physical space; it was a sanctuary for those seeking refuge, be it people or cats. Much like the bright sunflowers that she loved so much, Kathy brightened the world around her. She was a wellspring of strength, unwavering in her support, and remarkably free of judgment. Her candid and forthright nature was a testament to her honesty and integrity, she was a straight shooter. Her light will forever shine on through the people she helped, as they in turn help others.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Mamas for Mamas.

This is beautifully written, and I’m so sorry for your loss. She leaves behind a huge void that will slowly fill with her memory and the love she had for her family and friends. Take care, love you.
So saddened to hear of Kathy’s passing. Such a strong and kind person lost far too soon. My deepest sympathies to Justin, Selena, and all of Kathy’s family and friends. So very fitting to help carry on Kathy’s legacy with donations to Mamas for Mamas, an organization that seems to embody Kathy’s spirit so well.
My sincere condolences to the family

I am sad to hear about the loss of Kathy, her and I were best friends all threw high school. A funny thought came to mind when her and I would sleep downstairs in the winter time with the window open. Once again sorry for your loss .
