Grace Elizabeth Park (Allen) née Baynes, February 1, 1932 - December 11, 2012

Grace was born in Salmon Arm, BC to Jack and Maude Baynes and passed away with her family by her side. She was predeceased by her first husband Jim Allen, grandson Jimmy Allen, son Jack Allen, second husband Roy Park, grandson David Olson and brother Al Baynes. She was also predeceased by her “forever friend” Vi Day (Tilley). Grace will be forever loved and deeply missed by her extensive family, sisters Blanche Henry, Matt Fettis, children Harry (Gail), Peggy (Barney), Leonard (Debbie), Rick (Joan), Paula (Gerry), Leslie, 16 grandchildren, 15 greatgrandchildren, many nieces, nephews and dear friends.

While Grace excelled at every job she undertook throughout her life, she will be remembered more for her guidance and wisdom that was freely given to all. Her true passion in life was always her family and friends.

Our family would like to thank all the nurses and caregivers who helped mom through these last several years, and especially Dr. Barrie McDonald whose personal care helped our mom immeasurably. Her daily life was enriched by her daughter-in-law Joan which enabled mom to enjoy her last six years, even though she was faced with many physical challenges.

No service by request. An open house will be held on Saturday, December 15 from noon to 3 pm at Rick and Joan’s.

We miss you already.

Ida was always cheerful and enthusiastic about life. Her contagious smile and friendliness will be missed by all who knew her. The family would like to thank the staff of Olive Devaud Residence and Evergreen Extended Care Unit for the kind, loving care they provided to Ida.

No service will be held at this time. In lieu of flowers the family suggests a donation to Westview Baptist Church or Powell River Food Bank.
