Flora is survived by her grandchildren John David (Jay) Price, Alison Williams, Adrienne teBaerts (Gus) and her great grandchildren Karena, Daniel and Jacqueline. She was predeceased by her first husband Thomas Spink, her second husband George Dewar, her three children David Spink, William (Bill) Spink, Kathleen (Kay) Price and her grandson David Spink. Grandma Flora was a proud member of the Order of the Eastern Star Chapter #74 and #2. She became Worthy Matron of #74 in 1965/1966 and was a Grand Representative in 1979/1980. She was a retiree of Sears Canada and enjoyed an active retirement with a flair for gardening and was a champion lawn bowler until the age of 91. Grandma Flora loved to regale the family with stories of her immigration to Canada; arriving by ship from Scotland, traveling across the vast country by train, the horse and wagon days in Alberta followed by her eventual move to Vancouver by car. Her keen sense of humor, effortless grace and wonderful stories will be greatly missed by all. The family would like to offer their sincere thanks to the staff at Royal Arch Masonic Home for the wonderful care they provided Grandma Flora. In lieu of flowers please consider donating to the BC Cancer Foundation, Order of the Eastern Star Fund - Chapter #2. A memorial tea will be held in celebration of her long, fruitful life on Sunday, May 1st at 1:00pm. Please call...
