Montreal folk singer and songwriter Kate McGarrigle has died.

The folk singer, famous for her collaboration with her sister Anna, was 63 and had been battling clear-cell carcinoma.

She died at home in Montreal surrounded by family members, her brother-in-law Dane Lanken said.

Most Canadians of adult age who grew up in Canada and watched CBC would be warmed by this tribute to Kate:

Her voice is a part of our collective memory!

I’ve just heard this sad news.

A unique talent who will be sadly missed by many.
May she rest in Peace.

Slan,
D.
