Bessie passed away peacefully in her sleep in the early morning of October 6. Bessie was born in Duffton, Banffshire, Scotland. At the age of two, she came to Canada with her parents and siblings. They settled in Calgary and Bessie spent most of her life in the Hillhurst/Sunnyside communities. She worked in the office of West Printing Co. for nearly fifty years, retiring at the age of sixty-eight.
