It is with great sadness that the family announces the sudden passing of Katherine Papineau-Runnalls at the age of 59. In her early life, she worked as an X-ray tech at Temiskaming Hospital before choosing to dedicate her life to raising her family. Predeceased by her mother, Jackie Papineau, she is survived by her father (Alph) and sisters (Dian, Linda), father in-law (Jim) and his children (Kevin, Kathy), her husband (Steve), children (Michael-Anne, Christina, Greg, Scott), grandchildren (Keiran, Olivia, Logan), nieces, and nephews. Well known for her volunteerism and generosity within her community, she was loved by her family and her absence will be felt. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Canadian Mental Health Association is appreciated.
