Mildred and Charles were married on July 4, 1951 and resided in Fort Vermilion, AB where Charles pastored, and Mildred taught school.

The family moved to Westbank, BC in 1972 to be near Mildred’s mother. Mildred taught at Immaculate High School until her retirement in 1988. Mildred will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by her family and friends.

Hello Heather, Beth & Stephen and family, We’re so very sorry for your loss. From the stories I heard, she was a very special woman. We pray that you will be comforted at this time and know His strength. We sure do miss all of you.
Heather wish we could visit and hug during this time of reflecting on your mom’s wonderful life that she blessed others with so abundantly. So many students and family blessed.
