Victoria, BC
October 1, 1946 - Feb 12, 2022
My life has ended on my own terms, which was very important to me. I have always been strong-minded (sometimes frustrating for my family!). My single biggest wish, always, was to become a mother and grandmother. I am incredibly happy that wish came true for me. I loved every minute of those times together, watching all the sports and activities my kids were involved in and later, watching my grandkids in their activities.
My heart always ached for those less fortunate, troubled with addictions and homelessness, those feeling unloved.
Christmases were very special to me and I loved being with family then. Our times at the cabin at Anglemont, boating on the Shuswap Lake, all of us together, were so much fun. I am so proud of my sons and all their accomplishments. We have endured adversities with love.
To my lifelong friends, Sue; Linda & Doug; Chris & Michel, you are a special gift.
I am survived by my sons, Wade (Darcia), Trevor and my grandkids Payton and Ashlyn; my brothers Jerry (Dee), Bob (Lynne), and their children. I am predeceased by my parents, Ralph and Sylvia. Keep me in your heart. I will stay there always. I'll miss you forever. I will love you longer. And "I'll be home for Christmas." Love, Mom and Gramma "B"
