She enjoyed a social day on the ski hill, farming cherries in Creston and picking wild cranberries while quading around Atlin. Her greatest joy was spending time with family and friends.

At her request there will not be a service. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the East Kootenay Regional Hospital or the Cranbrook SPCA.
