She was predeceased by her loving husband, William; her son, Bill; and her daughter-in-law, Lesley. She will be lovingly remembered by her children, Marilyn (Wayne), Rob, Darlene (Frank), and Dave; her daughter-in-law, Vickie; her 12 grandchildren; and 14 great-grandchildren.

Our mother, grandmother, and Oma was a devoted Christian whose faith never wavered. She came to Canada at the age of 19 to marry our father and went on to build a long and happy life, surrounded by her church community, friends, and family.
The Pley family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Woodley and the compassionate staff at Ty Watson House for the care and kindness shown to her.
A funeral service will be held on April 1, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. at Yates Memorial Services.
