ARMSTRONG (Kohler), Elizabeth Conrad - On March 24, 2006, Elizabeth "Kitty" Conrad Armstrong passed away following a short but brave battle with cancer. Kitty was predeceased 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; 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 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, N.B., London and Toronto, Ont., 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 Ave., Vancouver, Thursday, May 4, at 11 a.m., followed by a reception. Interment will be in Fernhill Cemetery, Saint John, N.B.
