her much loved sisters, Helen, Mary and Elizabeth. Mum graduated

of the Second World War, entered the University of Toronto School
of Nursing. Mum married William Ross

raised 8 children and lived in six cities: Toronto, Calgary,
Pointe Claire, Québec, Port Credit, Ontario, North Vancouver
and Chilliwack. During this time she also completed her B.A.
with Honours in French, and obtained her teaching certificate.

Throughout her life, mum spent her summers at Red Bay on the
Bruce Peninsula -- it was her special place. Mum died as she
lived: with courage, dignity and compassion. She is our inspiration.

their home in Chilliwack, Sunday, December 2 from 1-4 pm.
