BOYLAN, Kathryn Anne “Kay”
1937-2024. Kay died on January 23, 2024, in Charlottetown. Born in Guelph, Ontario, to loving parents Earl and Anna Sault on July 24, 1937. Raised in Ormstown, QC, Kay was a Registered Nurse who trained at Montreal General Hospital and went on to receive a diploma in public health nursing from the University of Western Ontario. Kay met Doug, her husband of fiftynine years at Albert College, and following their marriage in 1961 moved to Prince Edward Island where they made a home and raised a family. Kay was a wonderful mother, sympathetic, imaginative, and always there. Kay had a talent for friendship and many circles of friends: United Church Women, neighbourhood ladies, bridge clubs, book clubs, sorority, and the birthday bunch. She was well-known for her warm smile and sympathetic ear. Kay believed in the importance of community, whether it was canvassing for charities, volunteering with the school milk programme, tutoring kids, or helping with hospice. Kay is predeceased by her husband, Doug, and survived by children Heather Mathis (Charles) of Toronto, Jim (Dawn) of Bedford, NS, and John (Linda Berko) of Charlottetown; grandson Ben (Kathryn) of Halifax; sisters Fran Sault and Mary Woodside (Ken) of Guelph; niece Jen (Ben), and nephew Jon (Yuki). The family would like to thank the wonderful staff of The Mount Continuing Care Community for their many kindnesses and the doctors and nurses of the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Emergency Room for their compassion in difficult times. Resting at Maclean Funeral Home Swan Chapel. Funeral service Saturday from Trinity United Church at 1:30 p.m. Interment later in Sherwood Cemetery.
