Born on June 6th, 1924 in Sussex, England to Arthur and Alice Goring. Married Navy vet Gerald Burtenshaw in 1947. Survived by her husband Gerald, and four children, Lyn (Jock), Richard, Karen (Marcel) and Mark (Nicole) and seven grandchildren as well as nine great-grandchildren. She is also survived by three sisters; Cecelia, Pat and Margaret, all of England.

A wonderful woman with a terrific sense of humour and an endearing spirit; she will be missed by us all.
