Amelia Martine Kish

KISH, Amelia passed away surrounded by family on Wednesday July 22, 2026 in Edmonton, Alberta. Survived by her husband, Greg Kish. Loving mother of daughters Alice and Jane. Amelia will be dearly missed by her father Norm and uncle Camille. Predeceased by her mother Joan Van Zant.

Born in Ottawa and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Amelia was one of a kind. She completed her undergraduate degree at McGill University and went on to get her Master's degree in Industrial Relations and Human Resources at the University of Toronto. Residing in Edmonton since 2015, she loved her career as a labour relations professional, working over the years for the Ontario Science Centre, the Government of Alberta and finally the Department of National Defence. She made many friends over time given her energetic and positive attitude and her naturally outgoing nature. She loved to sew, craft, scrapbook and travel. But Amelia loved nothing more than to spend time with her daughters, collectively nicknamed 'Jalice'. They were the jewels of her eyes.

Amelia will be sorely missed by all those who knew her. She lived a "Life well crafted".
