Bunty was predeceased by her parents, Billy & Winnie, her husband, Art and son-in-law, Ron (Lynda).  She will be dearly missed and forever remembered by her sons Gary (Sandy) and Grant (Corinne) and her daughter Lynda, as well as her 6 granddaughters Wendy (Glen), Heather (Curtis), Jennifer, Sabrina (Levi), Carolyn (Aaron), Kaitlyn (Jon), 5 great granddaughters (Emily, Kaia, Kyra, Danika, Arabella) and 7 great grandsons (Caden, Nash, Caleb, Matthew, Reuben, Darius, Beau).  She ‘loved’ her family and we ‘loved’ her.  It’s a very sad time in the extended Price family.  However, she would want us to think of the good times, of which there are many.

The Price family would like to extend their heartfelt thanks to all of the support people and medical professionals that cared for Bunty during her challenges with aging and dementia, in recent years - particularly Beacon Community Services, the Adult Day Program at Luther Court and the excellent, caring staff at Oak Bay Lodge. 

At Bunty’s request, there will be no memorial service.  She will rest, beside Art, in Royal Oak Burial Park. 


Bunty passed away quietly, at Oak Bay Lodge in Victoria.  It was her time.

Bunty (a childhood name given to her by a favourite aunt - Jessie) was born in Regina, Saskatchewan; the only child of William and Winifred Rennie of Aberdeen, Scotland.

Bunty married Art Price in 1946, after he returned from duty in WWII.  They moved to Victoria in 1947.  Their 64th wedding anniversary was celebrated shortly before Art passed away in 2010.

In her younger years, she was an accomplished singer, pianist and athlete.  However, her real strength was in her relationships with people - family and many, many friends.  She had a way of making you feel special, while treating everyone equally.  Within the family, that was her signature.  It was a family joke - someone would ask, “I’m your favourite, aren’t I Grandma?”  She would be quick to remind us that everyone was her favourite.  She profoundly shaped who we are and will live within us all forever.

She loved golf (and all of her friends at the Uplands Golf Club), as well as all types of music.  She was one of the few cool parents that enjoyed our ‘wild’ music in the 60s ... at least, that’s what she said.

As soon as you met Bunty, you were touched by her.  She radiated warmth, positivity and unconditional acceptance, with a fun loving and giving nature.  She was truly a beautiful person.
