Kathy Verna Ajas

With the heaviest, most fractured of hearts, I am saddened far beyond words to announce the passing of our mother Kathy Verna Ajas.

On October 14th, 2023 in Victoria BC, Mom's life here with us on this island she loved so much ended. Her son Dale Ajas, Daughter Shelly Bruggeman-Ajas, and myself Duane Ajas were by her side, hand in hand fighting with her for every last second we could have together on this earth.

My love Wendy Fisher, Nathalie Ajas (Dale's wife), Noel Bruggeman (Shelly's husband), Mom's brothers Barry (and wife Mary), and Dean Rubottom. Her grandchildren Zoe Ajas, Jacob Ajas, and Skyla Bruggeman. Jeanette (sister-in-law) and Mike Van Hyfte (brother-in-law) nieces and nephews in central Alberta where she was born 74 years ago on March 28th, 1949 in Lacombe are supporting us and mourning by our side.

Countless friends around the world, co-workers, neighbours, volunteer organizations, and residents she loved and cherished join us in mourning as well. A celebration of her incredible, inspiring, beautiful, and full life will be held on November 26th, 3:30 PM - 6 PM 2023 at the Esquimalt Pavilion, 1070 Tillicum Road. We look forward to seeing those of you she touched with her smile, laugh, energy, and caring at her Celebration of Life.
