Notes - Kathleen was born in Kensington, PEI, the fourth of five children to Annie Mullin and James Ready. She started her teaching career at the tender age of 16 years and was in the public school system for almost forty years, most of which were in Kensington.
Following her marriage to Harold McIver in 1941 (the same year her brother Joe died in the war), she moved to Summerside, where she became a very active member in the community and the church. She was involved with the catechetic program at St. Paul’s for many years. Kathleen was also into sports, being an avid player in tennis, golf, curling and the odd game of bridge. She was an active member in the Kinette Club (President), Ladies Division of the Summerside Curling Club, and the Provincial Ladies Curling Association. She also was a strong supporter and a charter member of the Speakeasy Toastmasters Club and the Summerside Christian Council.
While living in Summerside and teaching in Kensington she travelled back on the “boat, train, or pig’s eye”. When teaching in Emerald, it was a two-room school and her teacher-mate was Nora McIver. When asked about her father-in-law, T.A., she stated “he was the boss”. TA ran a store in Kinkora at this time.
Kathleen also loved to travel, and a smile would always spring to her face when she spoke of the trip she and her sister, Mary, took throughout Canada in a little Volkswagen, camping along the way and running for cover when the bears decided to take over possession of their tent. She was an international traveler and enjoyed each and every adventure. She spent the last number of years in residential care in Charlottetown.
Her closest friends called her “Kay”. She will be sorely missed by friends and family alike. With her death there are no further descendants of Mary McIver.
