STEINKEY
Katherine Steinkey of Medicine Hat, passed away peacefully with her family by her side, on Thursday, January 7, 2016 at the age of 97 years, beloved wife of the late Joseph “Joe” Steinkey. She also leaves to cherish her memory four children, Evelyn (Lauchie) MacLellan of Winnipeg, Ron (Lavina) Steinkey of Medicine Hat, Bob (Nancy) Steinkey of Medicine Hat and Josephine (Scott) Esau of Okotoks; eight grandchildren Kyle (Trish) Steinkey, Scott Steinkey, Julie (David) Munroe, Marie (Mark) Langton, Janine Steinkey (fiancé Chris Legare), Bailey Durant, Vanessa Esau and Jocelyn (Brady) Hoetmer; three great grandchildren Ashley, William and Andrew; two brothers, Roy Ries and Adam (Lorraine) Ries all of Medicine Hat; two sisters, Lena Shcmaltz of Medicine Hat, Rose Schneider of Fox Valley and her sister-in-law Lillian Ries of Moose Jaw as well as numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her parents Elizabeth and Joseph Ries, her husband Joe on December 18, 2010, one son, Gary in infancy, four brothers and three sisters. Katherine Steinkey was born December 19, 1918. She was the 2nd oldest in a large farm family of 12 siblings. Being the oldest daughter she took on the role of helper and caregiver to her younger siblings giving up the dream of becoming a teacher. She stayed on the Ries family farm until she married at the age of 22 and started a new life with her husband and life-time partner Joe Steinkey. Katherine was a strong hard working farm girl raising four children and taking care of the household, the garden and helping with all those farm chores that never ended. She cared for both of her parents in their time of need. Mom and dad farmed in the Fox Valley area until their semi-retirement in 1974, when they moved to Medicine Hat and continued to farm for a few more years. They both enjoyed a very active social life dancing the night away on weekends at the Moose or Legion, or playing cards with friends until the wee hours of the morning. They looked forward to and enjoyed the summer camping trips with family and friends. They could often be found sitting in the backyard having an ice tea in the shade after working in the garden and the yard or preparing some old fashioned baking for the family. For a time Mom volunteered her time and skills with the Legion where she prepared and served many wonderful meals. Mom and dad moved into the Wellington in 2009, after dad’s health started to deteriorate. They enjoyed their time together there until dad’s passing in 2010. Mom then moved into the Teeoda where she lived until her last few days at St. Josephs hospice. After 70 years of marriage and a fulfilling life she looked forward to rejoining Joe and the rest of her family and friends that had gone before her. Those who wish to pay their respects may do so at the PATTISON FUNERAL HOME on Sunday evening from 6:00 -8:00 p.m. and at the church on Monday from 9:30 - 10:25 a.m. Family and friends will gather for prayers in the PATTISON CHAPEL on Sunday evening at 7:00 p.m. The funeral mass will be celebrated in St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic Church (238 2nd Ave N.E.) on Monday , January 18, 2016 at 10:30 a.m. with Fr. Francis Tran celebrant. Interment will follow in the Hillside Cemetery. As an expression of sympathy donations may be made to the Carmel Hospice (St. Joseph’s Home) c/o 156 3rd Street NE, Medicine Hat, T1A 5M1.
