ARMSTRONG, ELIZABETH CONRAD (nee KOHLER) - On March 24, 2006 Elizabeth (Kitty) Conrad Armstrong passed away following a short but brave battle with cancer. Kitty was pre-deceased by her loving husband David Beverley Armstrong in 1973, her brother, Captain Henry Kohler, C.M. in 1997 and her eldest son J. Beverley Robinson Armstrong in 2002. She leaves behind her children, Joy (Ken) Jones, (Laura-Lee) Armstrong, Peter (Wendy) Armstrong, and grandchildren Christopher (Jenn) Jones, Lauren, Scott and Mariel Armstrong, Ashley, Chelsea, and Tristan Armstrong, and her sister-in-law, Lanie Kohler, along with three nephews and five nieces. Born November 6, 1917 in historic seaside Lunenburg, Nova Scotia to Captain Carl Kohler OBE and Eva May Kohler, Kitty spent some of her childhood at sea with her parents and enjoyed her time at Lunenburg Academy. She graduated in September 1939 from the Halifax Infirmary School of Nursing and always remembered with fondness her time as a Nursing Sister. Kitty and David married in December 1942 and began to cross the country, living in Rothesay, New Brunswick, London and Toronto, Ontario before settling in Vancouver in 1964. Following David's passing, Kitty lived in West Vancouver where she enjoyed frequent walks on the seawall as well as her volunteer work. In 2002 Kitty was awarded her 25-year pin for volunteering at Lion's Gate Hospital's Evergreen Lodge in North Vancouver. She was well traveled, enjoying many trips at sea with her sister-in-law Lanie and brother Henry on the research vessel, RV Vema that he captained, as well as on other trips abroad with friends and family. Kitty's last months were spent living at South Granville Park Lodge in Vancouver. The family is grateful for the care she received while there. She will be remembered for her volunteerism, her impeccable manners, kindness and quick wit. A Family Service has been held and a Memorial Service will be held at St. John's (Shaughnessy) Anglican Church, 1490 Nanton Avenue, Vancouver Thursday, May 4, 2006 at 11:00 AM followed by a Reception.
