Kathleen Beatrice (Calder) Stenicka, 89, died Tuesday, December 19, 2017 at her home in Pensacola, FL after a short battle with pneumonia and shingles.

Shortly thereafter, she met and married Frank, and they emigrated to Newfoundland, Canada.

Three sons were born; John while residing for 2 years in Placentia Bay, Newfoundland, then followed Patrick James and Lawrence Cameron in Calgary, Alberta, where they lived for almost 20 years.
