Death notice for the town of: Calgary, Province: Alberta
I came to know Orpha through working together in the steel industry, mostly over the phone – her in Calgary/Airdrie, me in Brandon. She was the perfect example of class, tact and knowledge. When I finally did meet her in person we were instant friends. My condolences to the family.
