In memory of Gwen Mason, who passed away peacefully in her sleep on 26th October, at South Granville Park Lodge.
A lover of nature and the mountains, Gwen made Vancouver her permanent home in the 1970s. She trained and worked as a medical secretary, spending time at St Pauls, VGH and UBC.
She was never happier than when hiking or bird-watching. Yoga and travel were other passions – her first trip was to France in her thirties, her last to Alaska in her nineties, with visits to many other countries in-between.
Gwen will be very much missed by all her friends, family and all those who cared for her in her later years. Her kindness, wit and generosity to all make her a hard act to follow.
