She married Don Embury June 2, 1978. After 2 years in Richmond, B.C., they moved to Kelowna, B.C. Helping people was her great- est desire. She worked hard to develop skills for service in church and enthusiastically vol- unteered to meet any challenge. She was in- volved with Victim Services, and served as a 911 dispatcher. She packed as much as she could into every day. She is mourned by Don and daughters, Taya, Jessica and Caitlin. The funeral was Oct. 26 in Willow Park Church, Kelowna, with Mark Burtch, Arnie Peters and Tim Van Brummelen ministering.
