Born September 22, 1913 in Saskatchewan and raised in Kinley, Mom moved to Victoria in the 1940鈥檚. There she re-met an old friend from Saskatchewan (Fred Belcher) and they were married in August 1952.

With her quiet and steadfast manner she showed us the importance of always caring for family and friends. She moved to Courtenay in 2001 to enjoy her remaining years close to her son and family. Thanks to the staff at Glacier View Lodge for their loving care and kindness.
