She was born in Nanaimo and moved to Vancouver with her family when she was 8 years old. She is now eternally reunited with Victor, her loving husband of 69 years. All 6 siblings, Quen, George, John, Bill, Evelyn and Sam predeceased her. Her large family was very close.

She has been described by family members as deeply loyal, independent, intelligent, strong willed, energetic, vibrant, resilient, fit, athletic and very fashionable. She was very healthy and active most of her life. We will remember her beautiful smile, cheerfulness and warmth.
