BOYES, Mary Ethel (Molly). Born May 12th, 1915 in Wanstead, England; died March 5th, 2012 in Surrey, BC. Mother, grandmother, wife, friend, teacher. Taught nursery school in England, later emigrating to New Zealand, then Canada with her family. After a long and full life, Molly passed away peacefully in her sleep, with her loving family at her side. A spiritual soul, Molly found joy in music, nature, art and gardens, and gently passed this joy on to all who knew her. Predeceased by her husband Stewart, Molly's memory will be kept alive by a loving family: son, Tim; daughters Margaret and Pamela; grandchildren Kelda, Simon, and Tessa. Many thanks to Dr. Spangehl and the staff at Peace Portal Lodge for their supportive care of Molly over the last five years. If you would like to make a donation in Molly's name, please give to breast cancer research. There will be a small family gathering in honour of Molly.
