It is with the greatest sadness that we announce that Kathleen Patricia Gulliver, (RN, BN) age 64, of St. John's and Whiteway, NL, passed away on Thursday morning, June 29th after a year long private battle with illness. Her loving family surrounded her in her death, as in her life. Kathy is preceded in death by her parents Kate (nee Ryan) and Frank Eagle and by siblings Bob Eagle (Elsie), and Jane Byrne (Ed). Kathy is survived by her devoted husband of 46 years Michael; daughter Deanna Norman (Joe) and son Daniel (Leanne); her sister Frances Richardson; her grandchildren, Alex, Sarah, Samantha, Ryan and Claire; several loving nieces, nephews, cousins and a large circle of family and friends. Kathy was known for her exuberant love of life and her beaming smile. She loved animals, music and people and welcomed many into her family home for a meal and a song. She loved James Michener novels, John Prine songs, black and golden Labs, the beach and the cabin on Hodgewater Pond. But mostly she loved her very close-knit family - her grandchildren most of all! Kathy was a stubborn force of nature and she did not want to leave us. She fought with all she had, and rallied several times, but in the end there was no more she could do. As was her wish, in lieu of a traditional wake and service a Celebration of Life will be held for all those who she loved and who loved her. It will be held on Friday, July 7th from 4:00 - 8:00PM at the Bungalow in Bowring Park, St. John's. Come to share some good memories with us and maybe a song or two. In lieu of memorial donations, flowers can be sent to the Bowring Park Bungalow between 12:00-4:00 pm on July 7th.

That's the way that the
world goes 'round.
You're up one day and
the next you're down.
It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown.
That's the way that the
world goes 'round.
