She was an active volunteer supporting her church, the Children's Hospital Book Market, cancer research and many other community organizations. After Jack and Tanis retired, they eventually settled in Victoria. Tanis lived a long and rich life filled with generosity, kindness and her wonderful love for family. She will be greatly missed by her children, her 13 grandchildren and her 19 great-grandchildren, all of whom she loved dearly. The family will be gathering in Winnipeg to celebrate a life well lived and to place the ashes of Tanis and Jack together in the family plot.
