Kathleen ‘Kathy/Katie’ Alexandrine Levy (née Teape)

Sadly, we announce that Kathleen Alexandrine Levy, died peacefully at LHSC-Victoria Hospital on Tuesday, October 4, 2022 after a tragic fall. She was loved by her husband of nearly 65 years, J. Douglas Levy, and was the mother of Anne Marie Craik (Richard), Christine Levy (Glen Organ), Brian Levy and Donna Levy (Danny Quinn). Predeceased by brothers Patrick and Gerald, she will always be Nana to her grandchildren, Christopher and Alyssa Craik. She will be missed by her sister Carmen Philpott, brother Stuart Adams, many nieces, nephews, family and friends far and near.

Born in Kingston, Jamaica, she immigrated to Quebec in 1957. Through her high school days in Jamaica, she was known as Skipper, as she was the captain of every team of which she participated.

Her interest in sports (both active and armchair) persisted throughout her life as she competed in badminton, bowling, basketball, and netball, among other sports. She coached and played softball. To the avail of her Habs loving family, she was a Toronto Maple Leaf fan, thus had most of her summers free to work on her gardens — her pride and joy. She was a painter, wood/stone carver, knitted and crocheted hats for those in need.

A special thanks to Colleen Murphy for her compassion and patience with the entire family but especially, Brian. Also thanks to those that cared for her at LHSC-Victoria Hospital during these difficult times. Cremation has already taken place.
