relatives, her wide circle of friends and the family of caregivers who came into her
life after her stroke in 1990. She was a teacher by profession with school boards in

cards and her finely-honed ear for grammar errors continued for at least a decade

East Burnaby United Church. She and Frank helped build the new church in the fifties.
She was a Sunday School teacher, co-founder of the B.L.S. Club, a life member of United
Church Women, member of the Board of Stewards, representative to the Presbytery and to
the General Council. She loved entertaining, travel, gardening and the rain. The family
