Valerie Anne Wright née Mason-Apps, born on February 17th, 1931, reached the impressive age of 90 and a half after valiantly battling cancer for nearly a decade. Having said that, she had a good quality of life during that time. We sadly lost her on December 3rd, 2021, passing away peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones. Coming to Canada on a ship from England in 1957, she never thought she would stay in Canada but built a visionary life for a woman of that time. She will be lovingly remembered as a brillant, sensitive and compassionate lady, the righter of wrongs and generally a witty and feisty presence. She will be missed by her daughter, Adrienne, granddaughters, Arden and Megan, her niece Sarah Mason-Apps, (who lovingly cared for her during her long battle) her son in law, Christian and many more dear friends and family.
