She enjoyed travelling throughout Alberta and British Columbia and took particular pleasure in hearing about other people’s travels.
She will be forever remembered and missed by her son Donald (Lorna); granddaughter Heather (James); great-granddaughters Medea and Brigid; and granddaughter Holly and granddaughter Tracy; she will also be missed by many nieces and nephews; her friends and her kind neighbours at Dieppe Manor.
She was predeceased by her husband Stanley McIlroy; father Henry Steffen; mother Rosalie Steffen (Blaser); brother Roy Steffen; brother Frank Steffen; Norman Steffen; and son William (Billy).
The family will be celebrating her life at a later date, to be determined.
