On Friday, January 6, 2017, Mrs. Katherine (Kay) Chobotar of Osoyoos passed away peacefully at Mariposa Gardens at the age of 97 years.
She was predeceased by her parents George and Domnica Shippit; her brothers John, Bill, Morris and Nick; her sister Mary and her beloved husband William (Bill) Chobotar.

Kay was born in Sundown, Manitoba and moved to Osoyoos in 1937 with her family. She was a lifetime member of the Royal Canadian Legion and volunteered for many years at the United Church, Valley Congregational Christian Church and the Legion. Kay was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She and her husband Bill were dedicated orchardists and community members. Bill and Kay played host and hostess to many family and friends on their farm over the years. Kay was an amazing cook who was most well known for her unforgettable perogies and cabbage rolls. She will be forever remembered by friends and family as a kind, strong and loving individual.
