​Katie Young of Kincardine remembered for her pure heart and passion to serve others

Cathrine Elizabeth (Katie) Young of Kitchener/Waterloo, died peacefully and with grace, Dec. 25, 2023, in her home in Kincardine, surrounded by her loved ones, after a battle with cancer.

Survived by her daughter, Tamara Lee Gordon, her husband, Mike Vogler, and her beloved canine love bug, Carlton.

Predeceased by her mother, Wilma Joan Crystal, and father, Gord Young of Toronto.

Known for her pure heart and passion to serve others, Katie’s smile lit up a room everywhere she went.

She was a loving mother and wife, who was an inspiration for many to be better. All who knew her will dearly miss Katie’s presence. Her family asks that she be remembered for the joy she brought to others in life, not the sadness of her passing.
