YOUNG, Marion Katharine (Stevenson) Born April 16, 1922, in London, England, Kay died peacefully on July 13, 2005, under the good care of the staff of Victoria Hospital, London, Ontario. A sensitive, civil and gentle woman, she was ever loving and caring as wife to her late husband Gordon Alexander, as mother to Donald Gordon Young, Robert Andrew Young and William Alexander Young, as grandmother to Alicia, Duncan and Troy, and as mother-in-law to Louise Gadbois and Mary Young. She is survived as well by her beloved sister Ruth Clare Lodge and her husband Arthur and by her brother William Denman Stevenson and his wife Mildred, along with her relatives, sister-in-law Dorothy Jean Antrobus, nieces and nephews Kathryn, David, and Steven Lodge, Cathy McCallum and Robert Stevenson, and Drew Antrobus, together with their spouses and children. Kay was a wise and competent home-maker, and a warm and welcoming hostess. She was raised in relative comfort in the Niagara escarpment area by her mother Agnes Macdonald Stevenson (Carpenter), who was a graduate of the Ontario Agricultural College at Guelph, and her father William Oliver Stevenson, a surgeon. She survived meningitis and rheumatic fever as an adolescent but was left with a damaged heart. Kay and her future husband Gordon met as teenagers, and after an appropriate courtship, they married in September 1944. Kay moved with Gordon's career, which focused on polyester textiles, first with C.I.L. and later with Celanese Canada. As mother to three busy boys, she cared for the family homes in Toronto, Kingston, Hamilton and Montreal with diligence and creativity. After Gordon's retirement in 1978, Kay and Gord settled in Kingston and passed idyllic summers with family and many friends at their beloved cottage on Bob's Lake, near Westport, Ontario. Kay's old-Ontario culinary mastery, including her signature sweet red pepper sauce, was enjoyed by dozens of visitors from across Canada and around the world. She enjoyed nature, games and reading, and followed the lives of her family and many friends with much interest and affection. Kay endured two open heart surgeries, first in 1965, and again in 1981 to insert a mechanical heart valve. The valve, which was designed to operate for some ten years, was still functioning at the end of her long, rich and productive life. Relatives and friends are invited to a memorial service for Kay, to be held in Kingston, Ontario, during the autumn of 2005. Details will be announced. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Wildlife Federation would be gratefully appreciated.
