In 1946 the family moved to Campbell River, where Averial lived until 1993. Blindness overtook her and she was taken in and cared for by her son Bruce and his wife Elizabeth until her demise Averial was independent, caring, political, quick witted, intelligent, stubborn and loving. We will all miss her very much.
