Kathleen Elizabeth Rollo of Sherwood Park, formerly of Camrose, passed away on Sunday, March 27, 2016, at the age of 66 years. Kathleen ( Kathy) Elizabeth Rollo was born May 13, 1949 to John and Elise Rollo in Miniota, Manitoba. Once she graduated from High School she moved to Brandon, Manitoba studying to become a teacher. She was proud of the time she spent teaching English in Pierson, Manitoba. It was around this time that she met Ken Grambo. They were married in September 1971. They had two daughters, Bonnie and Joy. Ken and Kathy divorced in 2001. Kathleen was a gifted artist who expressed herself through sewing, rosemaling, hardanger, drawing and gardening. Her flower garden was beyond compare and fit for a magazine. Quilting later became her main focus later in life. Her grandchildren were the light of her life. Stories of them often made their way into her conversations with others. She was predeceased by her parents and infant sister. Left to cherish her memory are: Joy (Phillip) Jacobsen sons Andrik, Isak, Avram and Bonnie (Stephen) Kaack, children Logan, Siri, Gareth, Mats. A funeral service was held on Wednesday, April 6, 2016, at 11 am from the Messiah Lutheran Church in Camrose with Rev. Bonnie Arends officiating. Interment has taken place in the Camrose Cemetery.
