Ginder was not only kind warm and gentle, but also very resilient. She was born in Matsqui BC in 1948, she lived with her family until they moved to Queensborough. As a young lady she worked at MacMillan Bloedel, until she met and married her first husband in 1969.

In the early 70’s they moved to Valemount, BC to raise her three children. Sean, Mike and Leah. While there Ginder, not only looked after the three children but also worked on the ambulance as a paramedic.

In the late 70’s, like a lot of mothers she became a single mother with three children. Being who she was she got a contract, with the government as a custodian for the police station and courthouse, to look after the love of her life her children.

But over the years she took on other jobs such as dental assistant, hairdresser and janitor at the kids Elementary and Secondary high schools.

In 1980, while working as a first aid attendant she met the love of her life Stuart. Once they got together, they had a family of five. In the 90’s, after the children left for college and their own careers. They relaxed and enjoyed there lives together golfing and going out for beers with there friends.

In the late 90’s, the sawmill shut down, so they decided to move to the coast. To be closer to the grandkids and better health services. Where they lived and were able to be there for the birth of their grandchildren. Ginder loved sitting looking out her window, at the activity in the neighbourhood and doing her crossword.

Although, Ginder suffered from heart problems for much of here life she refused to let it consumer her. The last few months of her life were in and out of hospital.

She passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her loved ones which was her final wish. “No Service by her Request”
