Bev was born on June 22, 1946, in Oak point MB and moved to Kenora ON in 1957 at age 10. It was there, at age 14, she met the love of her life, Ken, and they were married on May 21st, 1966. Bev was a geriatric aid at the Pinecrest Home for the Aged until she retired in 2001. In May 2002, Ken and Bev moved west to Coaldale AB then eventually settling in Lethbridge AB to be closer to family. Bev was also an avid bowler and continued to bowl no matter where she lived.
About 5 years ago, Bev was diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis and stoically battled this terrible disease. It was the more recent diagnosis of cancer that she was unable to overcome, however her caring spirit shone through. The family would like to thank the staff at the Chinook Regional Hospital and St. Michael’s Health Centre. They also want to thank Dr. Aiden Smith, Dr. Oviatt, Dr. Roth, Dr Sue Westheuser and other numerous nurses and care workers that helped Bev be comfortable to the end.
Flowers are gratefully declined. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donation may be made to the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation, 47 Squire Bakers Ln, Markham, ON L3P 3G8 or the Canadian Cancer Society, https://cancer.ca/en
Bev will be laid to rest by her beloved family and friends at home in Kenora this summer.
