Biography - Kathryn Kynoch RP, RGI
This is a sorrowful message from Michael Tribe, Kathryn's husband. Sadly, Kathryn passed away peacefully in the Glasgow Royal Infirmary on February 27th 2025. She had been admitted to the Infirmary on December 31st 2024 but developed a range of medical issues from which the doctors could not help her to recover - despite their considerable efforts. I have been agonising over what to do about her Facebook, but I think that it is best to let it continue to be in place - representing one way of marking her memory. Clare Henry's excellent obituary, which was published by the Herald Scotland on March 22nd 2025, has been posted on Clare's Facebook. Kathryn lives on in our memories.
