Primrose had a difficult childhood as she had numerous physical health issues. The Shriners Hospital played an extremely important role in her overcoming many of these problems, so that she was able to live a fulfilled life. Primrose met the love of her life Earl on New Year's Eve and spent 56 years married to him. She spent her life as a homemaker who looked after her family with much love. Prim always had a smile and welcomed everyone into her home with open arms. She bowled in a league with Earl and many friends for much of her life. Many happy summers were spent in Clear Lake camping with family. Primrose loved the holidays, especially Christmas and she always made sure there were lots of presents and cards for everyone special to her. She had a super memory and always ensured that no one was forgotten for their birthday or special occasions. After she lost her husband Earl, she made many new friends at her new home at Concordia Place. She spent many hours working on her favourite pastime of knitting and made sure that each worker at the nursing home had a scarf for the winter last year. Mom, your beautiful smile, teasing and cheekiness will be missed by usall our love. We wish to express our deepest appreciation and thanks to the staff at Concordia Place Nursing Home for treating Mom with dignity, respect, care and concern.

My Aunt Prim, so many lovely memories of family get togethers, especially Christmas. I remember as a child, waiting excitedly for all my cousins to come over for annual Christmas visits. It was always such a fun time. As adults, Aunt Prim always asked about us and how we were all doing when she and Mom talked. Jim, Tim, Loreen and families, may you find comfort in your memories, and know that your Mom will certainly be missed by many. - Posted by: Judith Craig (Niece) on: Aug 02, 2012
