    Katrina Teresa Latawiec Mahboob

    – BCom'20, BA'20

    Summer 2023

    Katrina Teresa Latawiec Mahboob passed away on Jan. 8, 2023. Throughout her 27 years, Katrina always strove to be the most genuine, passionate, and thoughtful soul in the universe. Her unashamed dedication to others and fight for what she believed in will always be remembered and forever celebrated. Her piercing smile, wit, and elegance never failed to melt hearts. Beautiful inside and out, her flame never extinguished. 

    For everyone who had the chance to meet or interact with her, you knew she was simply too angelic for us. She truly embodied the notion of wearing your heart on your sleeve, always seeking the absolute best in people, regardless of anything. Wholeheartedly believing every single person deserves forgiveness and should be given the best chance to succeed, no matter what. And for how humble she always was, you’d be hard pressed to think she was nearly as intimidatingly intelligent as she really was. 

    Born in Toronto on Feb. 23, she graduated from the Etobicoke School of the Arts, leading a successful modelling career on the runway and acting as the face of multiple luxury fashion campaigns. She also excelled in athletics, placing third for cross-country in Ontario. However, she decided her true passion was in business and data analysis. 

    Following a short stint at Trent University, she enrolled in Smith School of Business and went on to obtain her BCom and BA in Computing, consistently placing in the top of her peer group and was in the process of completing her graduate studies. She did all this while participating in many CASEiT competitions, helping newer students as a much-loved teaching assistant, and pursuing multiple research projects using novel artificially intelligent methodologies to improve the world around us. She was most recently working as a senior management consultant at Oliver Wyman, leading some of their most complex data-based projects. Quickly recognized by her co-workers for her unique insights and dedication, she was taken under the wing of the head of digital projects where, among many things, she helped mould guidelines and procedures to improve collaborative approaches to data- and coding-centric problems. On the side, between one of her many mesmerizing karaoke and dancing sessions, Katrina was also actively working to help resolve the many  issues affecting primary-care physicians and their patients. Her focus on charitable causes and legacy for betterment will be faithfully continued. 

    She will always be loved and missed dearly by her husband, Hammaad Mahboob, her parents, Adam and Vivian, her sister Veronika Latawiec, her friends, and all who had the pleasure of meeting her — until the end of time.

    Carol Kennedy

    – BScPT’79

    Summer 2023

    Carol Kennedy passed away on March 14, 2023, after a valiant battle with cancer.

    Carol had a special respect and renown in the physiotherapy profession, which she loved and helped lead. A gifted and disciplined provincial-level swimmer, who worked with children with special needs, she chose a career in physiotherapy. She left ĂŰĚŇ´«Ă˝ with a keen interest in orthopaedic physiotherapy and a group of lifelong friends and colleagues. 

    Carol began her career at St. Boniface Hospital and later, the Sports Medicine Centre in Winnipeg. In 1983, she pointed her MGB towards Vancouver and joined Treloar Physiotherapy, her clinical home with friends and partners, Deb and Bill Treloar. She embraced life-long continuing professional development, acquiring post-professional credentials and a clinical master’s degree (MClSc 2011, Western University) and was among the first to attain the title of Clinical Specialist from the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. Carol contributed extensively to teaching, professional examinations, writing and clinical research in the field of musculoskeletal physiotherapy. She enthusiastically attended and spoke at national and international gatherings, including the 2010 Winter Olympic Games, and became a trusted expert and mentor in physiotherapy treatment of the cervical spine.

    Carol's great passion was for clinical teaching and mentorship of younger colleagues. She was the lead instructor and developer of a graduate program at UBC (Graduate Certificate in Orthopaedic Musculoskeletal Physical Therapy). In 2022, Carol was awarded the Enid Graham Memorial Lecture Award, the highest honour granted by the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and the Physical Therapy Distinguished Alumni Award at Queen’s School of Rehabilitation Therapy.

    Growing up in Kingston, Carol first discovered the West Coast on summer holidays with her siblings and cousins. Later, at Jericho Beach, Vancouver, when the ebbing wind stymied windsurfing plans, Carol and Roger Dewar, originally from Montreal, fell into deep conversation and love. They married in 1987 and Roger became, in Carol's words, “her rock of support in all things, family and career.” Carol and Roger, and their two children, Krista and Adam, developed a wide circle of friends at soccer and hockey games, the Arbutus Club and skiing. Carol loved spending time, winter and summer, with her family at Blueberry Hill in Whistler.

    While our time in this life is short, Carol made the most of hers. She was deeply saddened to leave her family and friends, who have supported her so strongly during her illness, her students and her many grateful patients.

    A fund in Carol’s memory has been set up at the University of British Columbia to support the Graduate Certificate in Orthopaedic Musculoskeletal Physical Therapy. are gratefully accepted. 

  • Barbara Diane Dodd, obituary

    1960s

    Diane (Hodgston) Dodd

    – Arts’68

    Spring 2023

    Barbara Diane Dodd slipped away peacefully at home surrounded by her children and the embrace of their love on the morning of Jan. 1, 2023.

    Diane is predeceased by her husband David. She will be greatly missed by her loving children: Mary (Com’84) and husband, Dan Dederer (Sc’85); Michael (Com’86); Brian (Dana) and Theresa (Caleb); and also by her six grand-daughters, including: Claire (Sc’19) and Leigh (Sc’21) Dederer.

    Diane was born in Kingston in 1940. An outstanding student, she skipped two grades and attended Queen’s in 1958 at the young age of 17. There she met her beloved husband David (BASc’60), and married in 1960. With her marriage, Diane dedicated her life to being a fantastic mother, creating a welcoming home full of love, learning, and many, many pets. She was the foundation of her family for over 60 years and a second mother to many others.

    Diane and David moved numerous times in the early years of their marriage. During this period and with three children under the age of seven, Diane continued her university studies via correspondence, proudly receiving her Bachelor of Arts from Queen’s in 1968. Once her children reached school age, Diane embarked upon a career as a teacher, where her kindness, patience, and talent made her a gifted and celebrated teacher.

    In the last two years of her life, Diane met the challenge of cancer with courage, fierce determination, and a forward-looking love of life. Supported by her family, her inner strength was an inspiration to everyone and allowed her to fully participate and take joy in every day.

    Forrest Harley "Bud" Frappier

    – BSc’46

    Summer 2023

    Forrest Harley "Bud" Frappier passed away on March 12, 2023. He was predeceased by his wife, Daye (Brunton); his parents, Tena (Sharp) and Frank Frappier; and siblings, Sybil (MacDonald), Curtis, Eileen (Borthwick), and Nadine (Trewin).  

    Forrest Harley "Bud" Frappier attended Glebe Collegiate, graduated from Lisgar Collegiate, started at Queen’s, served in the Navy, then returned to Queen’s and graduated in 1946. His four-decade working career was with E.B. Eddy in increasingly responsible engineering positions. 

    Recreational pursuits included: racing and rallying with the Motorsports Club of Ottawa in the 50s; boating at the family cottage on McGregor Lake in the 60s; cross-country skiing in the Gatineaus; and large boat sailing in Kingston in the 70s. He had a talent for fabricating — a race car, boats, and trailers, among others. He loved exercising his skill at going faster, but in precise control of a moving vehicle. 

    Following his retirement in 1984, he and Daye moved closer to their boat in Kingston. After her death in 1993, he reconnected with another youthful passion — motorcycles. This led to regular summer treks to Nova Scotia and fall excursions to B.C., California, and Utah visiting relatives. When he took off his helmet, people were amazed, as they expected someone much younger! He biked into his 90s, then moved into a retirement residence in Ottawa in 2013.

    He had a special affinity for cats and they for him. He cherished the companionship of various ones over many decades. 

    He renewed his driver's license at age 98. He was mobile and remarkably healthy and with it to the end. He achieved his goal of reaching 100. He died peacefully after a life well-lived. He was

    quietly independent, and a great storyteller with a keen sense of humour. He looked forward to adventures. He was a wonderful colleague, neighbour, and friend. He was beloved by his and Daye’s families.

    Norman F. Cohrs

    – BA'57

    Summer 2023

    Norman F. Cohrs passed away in Kingston on March 16, 2023. He was predeceased by his Ella, and older "ĂŰĚŇ´«Ă˝" siblings, Raymond, Edna, and Charles.

    He was born in Sudbury and raised in Chapleau. Like his siblings before him, he attended Queen’s. 

    He was a math teacher of note in Ottawa for 35 years in a profession he loved. He was predeceased by his beloved Maxine in 2018; parents, Carl and Ella; and older siblings, Raymond, Edna, Charles. He is survived by four children, Douglas, Stephen (Joan), Peter (Wilma) and Katrina; grandchildren, Paul, Heather, Andrew, Harrison, Elliot, Logan and Spencer; their spouses and great grandchildren, Ayden, Paige, Thea, Hudson and Parker (2022). He is survived, too, by his lively in-laws, Jacqui and Murray; nieces, Beverly, Nancy and Tara. 

    Born in 1930 in Sudbury, raised in Chapleau, he attended ĂŰĚŇ´«Ă˝, graduating in 1957. He was a fine math teacher in Ottawa for 35 years, a profession he loved. He and his wife built a family with four energetic kids. They also built the beautiful ketch "Almitra" and sailed in Ottawa, then Kingston. Time on Almitra was his passion and elixir; the compliments he received about Almitra's classic good looks never ended.

    He had an inquiring mind and considerable vision. He was a bit cynical and contrarian too. He also had a legendary dry sense of humour. He had a lifelong interest in steam trains; he was a bridge player, a chatty raconteur, depression-boy frugal, who loved a bargain; and a man of conviction and contradiction, delightfully so. 

    He liked his knives sharp, his coffee hot, his politics left, his classical music loud, and the CBC always. He was a messy manager. He was very good with his hands; he could build almost anything with the most basic tools and he could solve (and create) almost any problem.

    Over the last few years, his physical capabilities declined, but he still had his sharp mind. He kept doggedly shuffling along, and enjoyed drives along the Adolphus Reach, reminiscing about the good old sailing days.

    Terence Ross Carscadden

    – BA’61, MD’64

    Summer 2023

    Terry Carscadden died peacefully in the arms of his family in Sudbury on Feb. 14, 2023. 

    Beloved husband of Sylvia Grace (Black). They were married in Applewood United Church in August 1959. He was the loving father of Susan Carscadden-Mifsud (Paul Mifsud), Barbara Maki (Bill), Ron Carscadden (Natalie), Janine Carscadden (Eva Ekeroth); inspiring grandpa to Kenny Maki (Emily Duhaime), Scott Maki (Cassandra Rees), Heidi Maki (Max Ryan), Sophie, Callum and Roman Carscadden; brother of Alan Carscadden and the late Robert Carscadden; brother-in-law to the late Betty (Agnew) Carscadden, late Norma (Lamon) Carscadden, late Peter and Susan Black, and Catherine Black.

    He was a doctor, a teacher, a joyous skier, and an avid golfer. He was kind, and witty, and he gave himself generously to his family and the patients for whom he cared. He had a curiosity that made him well-versed in all things mechanical, the human body, phone technology, YouTube clips, and violins and violin makers, to mention a few of his many interests.

    Terry was the son of the late Mabel (Ewing) and late Melville Carscadden of Sault Ste Marie, Ont. He attended Alex Muir Public School and graduated from Sault Collegiate. He went to Queen’s to study mechanical engineering, but his career path meandered and he graduated with a medical degree from Queen’s. After interning at Toronto Western Hospital, Terry and Sylvia and their young family moved to Lively, Ont., where he joined the Lively Medical Centre with Drs. Jack Marlow and Peter Bayly. He was a respected family physician, who retired from his family practice in 2005, continuing to work in clinics until 2014. He described those 45 years as a “wonderful career.”

    Sports gave Terry’s life shape and focus. His first love was skiing, then he switched to driving fast; later he took up golf with a vengeance. He loved hockey and played with the Sudbury Hardocs. Finally, he bought the first Laser sailboat in the Sudbury area and learned to sail. He believed that he could learn anything by reading books and taking lessons from the “experts.”  Consequently, he nurtured a relationship and golfed with Sam Snead in 1992, and skied with Nancy Greene and Ernie McCullough.

    He was a violinist and played in the Sault Symphonette, the Kingston and Sudbury Symphony Orchestras and the Jubilee Folk Group. He sang in church choirs all his life, and he and Sylvia were regulars at the Festival of the Sound in Parry Sound. He was the best roadie for Kampana Bells, Sylvia’s handbell choir.

    He taught his children and grandchildren to golf and ski. In the summer, they shared rounds of golf and endless miles of water skiing and boating at the “camp” on Long Lake, a favourite spot for friends and family. On his 80th birthday, Terry led a long line, in formation, of those he had taught to ski, down a run at Searchmont.

    His short teaching career at Alex Muir school in Sault Ste Marie left an indelible mark on his students, whom he encouraged to move ahead in an enrichment program that marked their lives with great opportunity and success. He was described as lively, dynamic, and supportive of his students.
