Kathleen Joy Lougheed (nee Bridge)

May 24, 1933 – Nov 2, 2025 LOUGHEED, Kathleen Joy, of Toronto and Lion’s Head, in her 93rd year, passed peacefully at Toronto’s St Josheph’s Health Center, late on Sunday November 2, 2025. Cherished mother of Rocky (Denise), Kim Hames (late Daniel), Wanda and the late Andrea (Jamie McGreish). Loved grandmother of Kevin (Deana), Bruce (Lyndsey Scheffel), Kristin Hames (Alex Crowe), Danyelle McKenzie (Kevin), Amber MacCulloch (Brian Apjok), Amanda Connelly, Morgen McMahon, Hayden and 14 great grandchildren. Dear sister of Allan Bridge (Barb). Greatly missed by numerous nieces, nephews and friends.

Among her many wonderful qualities, Kathleen’s greatest passions centered around family and creativity. Deeply devoted to her parents, siblings, children, and grandchildren, she gave herself wholeheartedly to their needs and joys—always caring, celebrating, and often leading the fun. Her love of “books” was another defining passion. Long before “scrapbooking” was popular, she poured her creativity into hand-crafted binders covered in beautiful fabrics, filled with poems, photos, cards, and mementos that told the stories of her children’s and family’s lives. These treasured “books” remain a legacy of love, history, and artistry, often shared at family gatherings. Her “sisters network”—a circle of heartfelt connection and endless conversations—was another source of great joy. Together, they shared news, memories, remedies, and laughter through countless long calls. As the last of this beloved group, Kathleen carried their spirit with her, leaving behind memories and creations that will be cherished forever. Godspeed! Interment and Celebration of life is being planned for spring 2026. Details to follow.

But what matters most is the little line That lies between those dates in time. That dash is how we live each day, The love we give, the words we say. Not wealth or things that fade so fast, But moments shared — the ones that last. So take a breath, be kind, forgive, And choose with care the way you live. For when your story’s done at last, What will they say about your dash?
