I've known Mabel almost my entire life. Through the countless hours I spent in her Vernon home as Sharlene's friend, she became like a second mother to me. Mabel had a zest for life, certainly no wallflower, Mabel loved country & western music, dancing to it and singing her favourites. Mabel was forthright in her opinions & we girls toed the line. When she had the odd weekend off she would cook us breakfast, my first fried tomatoes were enjoyed at her kitchen table and a new treat, to me at least, peanut butter & jam! Who knew! We always stopped in the shoe department at The Bay for a quick chat, then onto Ladies Wear for the same with my Aunt Marion. So many years later Mabel would stop by my work in Cranbrook for a quick chat. My Mother moved to Cranbrook into Joseph Creek Village as well so it was only natural to visit & sit together at the weekly musicales. That's a lifelong friendship! With all our love to Sharlene, Judy & Don & family, Mark & I send our deepest condolences. I feel privileged to have been a small part of a life so fully lived & one that will be dearly missed.
