Kathleen Bayliss was a church member of Orchard City Church for many many years.
She moved to Nova Scotia a few years ago to live closer to her daughter, Eileen.

Kathleen was a very interesting person. Her two daughters each wrote a life sketch from the memories they have of their precious mother. These two daughters have such a different prospective it was interesting to hear each of their stories about their mum. One thing was noted several times - Kathleen loved to swim and especially in the ocean no matter if it was cold. She was also a very well-travelled lady. The list of places she has travelled to was long and interesting.

Loretta S., a close friend and member of OC Church, planned a memorial service for February 16th at Orchard City SDA Church in honour of Kathleen.
Pastor Jim Weir talked at the service and also sang and played his guitar.
A tape recording of Hetty (one of the daughters) singing at Hope Camp meeting was played near the end of the service just before the prayer.
