“Libby” was our sweet spirited sister and friend who was loved by all who met her and was a kind, friendly soul who enjoyed her involvement with Nanaimo Alliance Church and the Phoenix Center. She enjoyed helping others, being with people playing games or having a cup of tea. She retired two years ago from her role as a Peer Support Worker at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital and remembered her time there fondly. From children she babysat to co-workers throughout the years to inpatients at NRGH she was loved for her simple, cheery ways, and had at times the underlying strength and courage of her grandmothers and mother.
A graveside service at the Cranberry Cemetery, Powell River, B.C. will be held May 11, 2017 at 1 p.m.
A memorial service will be held at Nanaimo Alliance Church May 18, 2017 at 3:30 with a tea to follow.
Thank-you to Dr. Justin Kinsley and specialists, Nanaimo Traveller’s Lodge/Eden Gardens nurses, staff and residents, NRGH Emergency and ICU staff, Dr. David Forrest and Brianna. Your care and attention was exemplary.
