She was active in volunteer work serving many years on the Drumheller Public Library Board. After a long career as a legal secretary, she became involved in a successful sales career in Tupperware sales and considered many of her hostesses her best friends. She will always be remembered for her pleasant demeanor and kind generous nature.

Jan & I developed a friendship many years ago through her dedicated volunteering at the Drumheller Public Library. We shared attendance at the Alberta Library Conferences in Jasper, many fundraising events, board meetings, document revisions, and just visiting. I appreciated her great attention to details, her sense of humour, and her long-standing appreciation of public libraries. She is greatly missed.
