She is lovingly remembered by her children, Allan Peet (Patricia) of Penticton, BC, Lorraine Baycroft (Don) of Langley, BC and Doris Fithen (Ernie) of Red Deer, Alberta. 

Special memories are cherished by ten grandchildren and fifteen great grandchildren. 

In 1974 she married Russell May in Edmonton, Alberta and they moved to Chilliwack.  Russ passed away in 1979. 

A celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, June 16th, 2007 at 11:00 AM at Cooke’s Presbyterian Church in Chilliwack.
