Kathleen (Kay) Virginia (nee Wilkinson)
It’s with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Kathleen (Kay) Virginia Plautz (Wilkinson). Kay was born September 9, 1921 in New Westminster B.C. and passed away on May 29th, 2013. She was predeceased by her husband Henry Plautz in January 1976. Kay is survived by her children Marilynn Ray (Ron), Gary Plautz (Shirley), Wayne Plautz (Carol), Katherine Rendall (John), nine grandchildren, fourteen great-grandchildren and one great-great-granddaughter. Kay grew up in White Rock and North Vancouver. She married Henry in September of 1941 and moved to Canim Lake in 1949, where they raised their family. Kay worked for many years at Weldwood Plywood Plant. The ladies that worked with her on the drychain were nicknamed the ‘Swinging Grannies’. She loved to golf, bowl, knit, shop and travel. She loved sunsets, bluebirds, picking up sea shells, but most of all she loved her family. Kay was a graceful and generous lady, with a heart full of love. We will always remember her positive sunny ways, cheerful “hugga huggas” and her cards signed with “oodles of love” followed by a smiley face. We are grateful for all the care she received from Dr. Nicholson and the staff at Fischer Place.
