March 29, 1930 – November 29, 2021

Our much loved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on November 29th, 2021, at the age of 91, at the Hamlets in Kamloops. She was born in Kenville, Manitoba, on March 29, 1930. She was the eldest of three girls.

She was predeceased by her husband, Reuben, in 2003 after 56 years of marriage. She is survived by her sons Les (Betty Ann), Dave, and Mark (Lee), and daughters Heather Pockett (Doug) and Laurie Coyne (Dave) and too many precious grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren to name individually. She was always there proudly watching hockey, figure skating, soccer, baseball or any other activities that her grandchildren were involved in. She is also survived by her sister, Jean Thompson, from Warman, Saskatchewan, as well as many nieces and nephews.

She had suffered many years with dementia but managed to maintain her sense of humour and dignity until the end. Even though she stood under 5 feet tall, she was a force to be reckoned with. She and Reuben lived most of their lives in Flin Flon, Manitoba, until 1998 when they moved to Kamloops to be closer to family. They travelled extensively in their retirement, enjoying golf and spending time with family. Mom was the proud exalted Royal Lady of the Royal Purple for many years and travelled all over Canada attending conventions.

A celebration of life was held on Sunday, December 5^th, 2021.

We love you Mom!
