FLORENCE WALLS With great sorrow the family announces the passing of Florence Walls on Monday, December 3, 2001. Mom was born November 26, 1927 in Winnipeg. In 1943, Mom moved to Ottawa and worked as a secretary for the R.C.M.P. where she met her husband, Webster Walls. They were married February 28, 1948 at which time she began her lifelong career of raising her family. In 1952, Mom and Dad moved to Manitoba where they raised their children. She enjoyed crosswords, puzzles and the game of scrabble, rarely losing. Mom was very adventurous, having hiked the Mantario Trail, tubing on the Apple River, motorcycling and snowmobiling, along with camping, winter campfires and waterslides. She was known for her wit and humour. Mom volunteered for the Heart and Stroke Foundation for several years. Moms gifts in her life were her children and her grandchildren whom she all loved. Mom was predeceased by her daughter, Bonnie; her parents, Peter and Katherine McGee; her two brothers, Charlie and Edward; daughter-in-law Lynne Walls, and twin daughters in infancy. She leaves to mourn, her husband of 53 years, Webster; sister Theresa Walls and sisters-in-law, Beryl McGee and Edna Walls, all of Ontario; her children and grandchildren, Al (Grace) Walls, Shane, Samantha (Joe) Tibury, and Jeremy; Bob Walls, Brenna, Traci (Tom Harrison) and great-grandchildren, Brett and Ilyssa; John (Bev) Walls, Noreen and Jonathan; Gord (Marilyn) Walls, Danielle and Scott; Marilyn (Kevin) Naismith, Sarah and Emma.
