“A true pioneer”
With great sadness and heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our mother, who was a historian of Powell River and a very strong and courageous woman. She is survived by her son Bud (Diane), three daughters Gloria, Babe and Dee as well as grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
She will be missed deeply.
