Amy was sadly predeceased by her parents Albert and Stella Mason; sister Elsie; and 2 brothers-in-laws Doug and Gerald.

Amy loved her family and friends and lived for family visits and trips. She loved curling and was a member of the Walking Club, the Retired Teachers Association, and loved everyone at the Heart and Stroke Club. She volunteered for many events throughout Kelowna. Amy was an avid gardener, a great cook, truly enjoyed the outdoors; loved all animals (especially her cat “Tootsie”), and had a special love for all of her family. Her husband Tony appreciated his wife’s dedication to their marriage, family, and her unconditional love. She will be missed.
