(née Pitcher)
October 26, 2020
Elizabeth “Debi” Kennedy (née Pitcher), age 69 of Drumheller, Alberta, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Monday, October 26, 2020 after a short battle with cancer.
She is survived by her husband of 49 years, Rudy Kennedy, and cherished daughter Deniece Kennedy (Ben Whitfield) and grand dog Miikka of Pacific Palisades, CA. Debi was predeceased by her brother Mark and her parents Reginald and Claire.
She will be greatly missed by all of her siblings, Linda Lange (Fred) of Bayfield, ON, Wayne Pitcher (Yvonne) of Palmetto, LA, Dwight Pitcher (Cathy) of Winnipeg, MB, Robert Pitcher (Carleen) of West Lake, ON, Kim Schofield (Tom) of Airdie, AB, Dale Pitcher (Linda) of St. Thomas, ON, Terry Pitcher (Ryan Schreyer), of Winnipeg, MB, and sister-in-law Sue Pitcher of Brights Grove, ON. Debi leaves behind many nieces & nephews, great nieces & nephews, and recently, her first great great nephew.
Debi was a long time Scotiabank employee and proud to be married to a veteran. Debi and Rudy wintered for many years in Cypress Woods, Florida and idled the hours away playing mahjong and pickleball with her fellow snowbirds.
With Rudy’s military career they lived all over Canada and her volunteer spirit was appreciated by every community she lived in. Active in Rotary and the Catholics Women’s League, Debi loved helping those in need. Their love of travel didn’t stop when Rudy retired. They travelled the world exploring with family and friends.
Debi would want everyone to celebrate her life, not mourn her death.... so please, raise a glass (of diet coke and Southern Comfort) and share your favourite memories of Debi.
In lieu of flowers the family requests a donation to be made in her memory to a charity of your choice. Courtney-Winter’s Funeral Homes were in care of the arrangements.
