Obituary of Bull Bear – Black Kettle

Our Heavenly Father took our Beloved Angel Katia Mary Haze back to her home in Heaven on August 7, 2008, with her loving parents and loved ones by her side. Katia was born prematurely at the Foothills Hospital in Calgary, Alberta. It was a blessing to have been able to hold our little angel Katia in our arms. She will forever be remembered by her parents Shawna Rae Bull Bear and Cody Black Kettle; sister Shaniqua; brothers Cobyn and Aadon; maternal grandparents Audrey Bull Bear and Glen Black Horse, and Michael Black Kettle and Becky Cutter. Katia also leaves to mourn her Aunties Charnelle, Adrianne, Jocelyn (Garrett); Uncles Galen, Jason, Jessy, and Kelsey; numerous great aunts, uncles and cousins; grant grandfather Ed Wolf Child Sr. (Bernice).
