Edna Margaret Shaw

Slipped away quietly on November 14 at the age of 90 with her daughter Gail by her side. Edna was predeceased by her parents, William and Mary (Johnson) Woodman, and by five of her six siblings: Lloyd, Isabell, Betty, Louise, and Bud (William). Husband Glen passed away in 2013. She is survived by Gail and her husband Scott Pickard, the son she never had, her two “darling” grandchildren Blake and Claire, her sister Leota Duncan of Penticton, and many nieces and nephews. Born near Saskatoon, Edna moved with her family and grew up in the BC Interior. After moving to Vancouver she worked a variety of jobs and helped put Glen through university before becoming a full-time homemaker when Gail was born. Edna and Glen moved to Kelowna in 1968 for his job at American Can and later Crown Zellerbach where they lived until moving back to North Vancouver in 2013. Mom was always in motion - working in the garden, making bread or soup, cleaning the pool, mowing the lawn, volunteering for the hospital auxiliary and - in her later years - was a fixture on the Kelowna ladies golf scene. The family would like to sincerely thank all the staff and caregivers at Sunrise of Lynn Valley for their care over the past two and a half years. No service by request. A private interment will be held at Boal Memorial Chapel in North Vancouver at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to any hospital foundation or other charity of choice.
