Mom passed away on January 25, 2015 at Kamloops, BC.  She was born on Dec. 31, 1927 on the Lake Helen Reserve in Nipigon, Ont.  Married to Tom Relph on Apr. 23, 1949, they were happily married until his death on Apr. 13, 2004.  They had four children, Tomme (Heather Hanna) of Calgary, AB, Lloyd (Heather Shigematsu) of Ponoka, AB, Edie of Kamloops, BC & Rod (Deceased 1975).  Four grandchildren, Kevin (Jamie) of Chetwynd, BC, Diver of Calgary, AB, Travis of Calgary, AB and Ryan of Kamloops, BC.  Also 2 Great Grandchildren, Mercedes and Gabrielle of Chetwynd, BC.

She was predeceased by her sister, Gertrude Caissie and survived by her other 6 sisters, Ivy Schultz of Salmon Arm, BC, Mildred (Ray) Luce of Kamloops, BC, Inga (Don) Daoust of Clinton, BC, Diana (John) Henstock of Ashcroft, BC, Freda Lowery of Victoria, BC and Patricia Thiele of Chemanius, BC.  Also numerous, and I do mean numerous, nieces and nephews.

Mom and Dad raised their family in Schreiber, Ont until Dad retired and they moved to BC in 1979.  We have many fond memories of growing up in Schreiber, Mom’s flower gardens, her being the neighbourhood nurse (St. John’s Ambulance Attendant), chauffeur to hockey games in Red Rock, Nipigon, Terrace Bay & Marathon.  She was a loving wife, mother, friend and mentor.  Her strong beliefs in God helped her through many trials and tribulations during her life. She loved the outdoors, enjoying camping and the many trips Dad took us on to New Brunswick, British Columbia & Pennsylvania.  Nine months of the year you would find her sitting in the Gazebo in the backyard, enjoying a glass of white wine, reading or doing her puzzles.  She will be missed, God took her too early as she had many things she wanted to do, like nude pungy jumping!!  Her sense of humour was undeniable.

No service by request.  We will have a family gathering sometime this summer when we place her in the ground beside her loving husband.
