She served the Lord in various ways, singing in church choirs and teaching Sunday school. Most recently she was an active member of Willingdon MB Church, Burnaby, B.C.

Predeceased by her father, she is mourned by her mother of St. Catharines; daughter Gerri of Port Coquitlam, B.C.; son Howard of Burnaby; 2 sisters and 1 brother. The funeral was May 4 in Willingdon MB Church, with Carlin Weinhauer ministering.
