Kathleen McCreadie passed away at Buckreddan Care Centre on October 31. The 79-year-old from Irvine had lived at the home since 2014, having developed dementia. When the pandemic hit, her family were unable to visit her as normal and her husband, who would see her daily, was only able to be with her by her window once a week. But the family were confident that she was safe at Buckreddan, where carers had moved into the home to help care for the residents. Son Steven said: “Myself, my dad, sister and brother couldn’t see her in the care home because of COVID-19 the first time round and thought she had got through it.
