Nancy A.L. O'Toole

dear friend. Nancy is lovingly remembered by her children Susan Plunet, and Kevin O'Toole (Vanja), grandson Sean Macdonald (Jen), sister Joan Orlick and brother Trevor Bennett (Monica), along with many other family members in British Columbia, Alberta, Ireland, and England. Predeceased by her husband Eric in 2014 and son Michael in 2018, we know that once again she is with them.

Nancy lived a long and interesting life. Born in Regina, Saskatchewan to Stearn and Alita Bennett, the family later moved to BC with 'Nan' graduating from high school in Burnaby at 16. Nancy then went into residence at VGH, graduating as a nurse 3 years later and making many lifelong friends in the process. Always one for adventure, Nancy took to the air for a short while as a stewardess for PWA before marrying the love of her life, Eric in 1960. After her first 2 children were born, Nancy continued as a nurse until after her 3rd child, Kevin, was born. It was at this time Nancy chose to focus on her love of art and became a full-time artist.

Her paintings can still be found in galleries, with her works in reproduction and in

collections around the world to this day. The family thanks Doctors Ted & Priya Rosenberg as well as the wonderful staff and nurses at Berwick Royal Oak in Victoria for all their love, care, and support. They truly went above and beyond.

In lieu of flowers, the family appreciates donations to be made to the Alzheimer's Society of B.C. Donate at www.alzheimer.ca/bc/en.

A funeral service will be held from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM on 20230217 at Christ the Redeemer Church, 599 Keith Rd, West Vancouver, BC V7T 1L8.
