It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mary-Lou Truscott at the age of 78. She is predeceased by her husband John. Mary-Lou was a beacon of strength for her family and friends, and will be greatly missed. She leaves behind her daughter Elizabeth and her spouse Sue, her son John and his spouse Tami, and her grandsons Justin and Hayden. Mary-Lou was born in Vernon, and was a great lover of the area. There will be a private family service to remember her. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Canadian Diabetes Foundation.
