Margery (Jeanne) Ayres slipped away peacefully on Friday, Jan 30th, 2015 at the age of 86 years.Jeanne was born in Kamloops on Oct 28th, 1928.

She was predeceased by her husband Mel, brother Leyland and grandsons Tyler and Evan.She will be sadly missed and always remembered by sister Lois McGlashing, her children Roni, Jo-Anne (Ken), Mark (Gail) and Jackie (Lonnie), grandchildren Stacey (Kreg), Ben (Erin), Matt (Annesley), Amber, along with great grandchildren Kobe, Zakery and Isadora, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Jeanne is truly unforgettable to her family, along with her lifetime friend whom she went to school with (Shirley Beck), the gals she loved golfing and playing bridge with and her dear friend Doreen Watters, who shared many walks around MacArthur Island.Jeanne was the apple of her father’s eye and followed in his foot steps into a career with the CNR. She enjoyed 38 years with them where she created many friendships and was affectionately known as "The Chief".

Mel and Jeanne enjoyed an active life filled with curling and golfing. They took many great vacations with their friends, which usually included either a Caribbean Cruise or golf trips down the California coast. Jeanne was a very family oriented woman. One thing that always brought her family together was her weekly Sunday night roast beef and yorkshire pudding dinner.Jeanne was known for her quick wit, volunteer work and her love of gardening.

Our family would like to thank the staff at The Hamlets for their wonderful care of our Mom during her time there, especially Mom's special angels Jodi Kemp, Pardeep Lalli and Mila Bagundol.

All are welcome to come and help us celebrate our Mom's life in the Schoening Funeral Chapel on Thursday, Feb 5th at 1:00 with a reception to follow.

Mom, always remember......We love you a whole bunch and a little bit!!
