In Loving Memory ~
We say goodbye in sadness but we marvel at our good fortune that our mother, grandmother and great grandmother Kathleen Gusola (Blank) lived and loved for 94 years. She passed away peacefully on March 15.
Mom was born in Nanaimo, grew up on Machleary St. and attended John Shaw High School. Mom met Alex Gusola at his smoke shop on Commercial St. and they were married in 1950 until his death in 2006.
Being involved in the community was important to her and she had many wonderful friends. Mom was kind.
She leaves behind her children: Joanne (Wes), Alex (Joan), Maria, Gina (John) and Michael (Tracie). Her grandchildren: Tracie-Lei, Dawn, Talia, Katie, Hayley, Devon, Dylan, Maia, Nick, Alex and Mike.
Great-grandchildren: Ashley, Kyle, Alisha, Hayley, Jeremy, Karly, Oliver, Lucian, Corbin, Everett, Rosalie, Elliott, Alexander, Caden, Kennedy, Kayson, Cambree and Cannon, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
Our family will gather to celebrate Mom's life this summer.
Those that we love don't go away, they walk beside us everyday.
