Mrs. Kathy (Ethel) O'Heron Desramaux, age 74, passed away peacefully in her sleep, under the great care of the Nipigon District Memorial Hospital health care team on September 13, 2022.
Kathy was born in Kingsville, Ontario on November 8, 1947 and grew up with her twin sister Eleanor (O'Heron) Cleary in the loving home of Pauline and Patrick O'Heron where they enjoyed summers at the cottage, socials and travelling as a young adult to far off places like Morrocco (where Kathy discovered she did not like mint as told to her grandchildren!).
Kathy graduated from teachers' college at the University of Windsor. Kathy and Dan were married September 13, 1975 and relocated to Northern Ontario following their sense of adventure. Kathy spent her career as a primary school teacher in Nipigon, Ontario where she loved teaching Junior Kindergarten through to grade 8. Kathy had a life long love of piano and singing and led the school choir and competed annually in the Thunder Bay music festival.
Kathy is survived by her husband, Dan Desramaux; and their three daughters: Amelie (Desramaux) Nephin (Cory Nephin), Carina Desramaux (Rodney Harnett), and Julia Desramaux (Jim Pearson); sister Eleanor (O'Heron) Cleary (Michael Cleary); and 8 loving grandchildren (Caitlin, Lucas, Liam, Ashtyn, Lincoln, Rylee, Brookelyn and Lochlann).
A celebration of Kathy's life will be held at the family home at 19 Third Street, Nipigon on Saturday September 17th from 1-4pm. The family welcomes people to visit and share stories. In Lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation or the Nipigon District Memorial Hospital are welcome.
