      Mom had a love for becoming a flight attendant, so she trained at the Royal Alex in Edmonton to get her nurse's degree and then moved to Vancouver to work for TWA. She met Bert on a flight to Victoria and once married, began her rewarding lifelong career as a Private Duty Registered Nurse, caring for many prominent British Columbians.

      She will be dearly missed by her children, Bruce (Liz), Peter, and Barb (John); her loving grandchildren, Andrew, Julia, Kate, Nicolas, and Michael; and her precious great-grandchildren, Cohen, Wallis, Ethan, and Lucas.
