April 21, 1914 – July 28, 2008
With heavy hearts we announce the peaceful passing of our Mom at the age of 94. Predeceased by her husband Mack in 1999, left to mourn are daughter, Marie (Doug); son, Jim (Meg) of Victoria; sisters, Julie Braaten of Kelowna, Marguerite Upton of Calgary and many nieces and nephews. Born in Kipling, Saskatchewan, Mom left home at age 17 to pursue her hairdressing career, meeting her future husband at a convention in Winnipeg in 1939. They were married three months later and lived in Flin Flon, Calgary and finally moved to Victoria in 1955. Beauticians by trade, they owned and operated Beauty Salons in all three cities. In 1969 they opened Stretch and Sew Fabrics which is still family operated. We would like to thank Dr. David Brook and all the staff at Mt. Tolmie for their compassionate care of Mom. Funeral Service will be held in MCCALL BROS. FLORAL CHAPEL, Johnson and Vancouver Streets, on Thursday, August 7th at 3:00 p.m. A reception will follow in the Family Centre. Friends who wish to make a donation may do so to Mt. Tolmie Hospital or the B.C. Heart and Stroke Foundation.
Rest in Peace Mom. We love you.
