Stephanie was born in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia on December 13, 1950 to Don and Betty Trim. She is survived by her loving family, husband, Gerry; son, Tyler (Heather); grandchildren, Avery and Faith; daughter, Kimberly Bregg (Quentin); grandson, Parker; stepson, Duane (Lauren); grandsons, Liam and Aidan; sister, Jill Stokes (Dean) and many relatives and friends. She was predeceased by her brother, Scott in 1978.
Stephanie graduated from Vic High in 1969. She worked at Capital Iron, BC Government in Premier Dave Barrett’s office as Secretary, Fish and Wildlife, Attorney General’s, BC Government Manager’s Association, School District 61 in Maintenance and then spent 20 years at Monterey Middle School as School Secretary. She retired after she became ill, eventually succumbing to Alzheimer’s Disease on November 14, 2016 at Luther Court Community of Care. Stephanie was treated with care and compassion at Patient Care at Royal Jubilee Hospital for 18 months and the staff at Luther Court pampered her to no end for almost two years. I personally thank all the staff at these facilities. Stephanie’s end of life care was incredible at Luther Court. How these brave and compassionate people do what they do with limited staff is unbelievable. From the top to the bottom they all work together. To the staff on 3rd floor West, Bravo!! Thanks go to Dr. Robert Shepherd for his genuine care of Stephanie. He visited Stephanie often and thanks to Dr. Kent Butler for saving Steph’s feet!
Stephanie loved her children and she loved life in general. Rest in peace my love. You were my everything!! Forever yours, your loving family and friends from St. John’s Newfoundland/Labrador to Victoria, you were loved by all as we travelled Canada with curling. Until we meet again – Ger!
