Terry’s positive, no-nonsense life attitude can be summed up in one story she told me. In 1947 she and her husband Sam moved their family and all their belongings, including Terry’s little yellow convertible, to Squamish, via barge, because there was no road yet. She would drive that little convertible “down the hill to work in town” rain or shine, and when it rained she had to “hold up an umbrella” while she drove because the top was stuck down! Let’s all live like Grandma. When life hands you a rainstorm in a topless convertible, put up an umbrella and drive on with a smile anyway.
Lovingly written by granddaughter Vicki (Marie Lepitre’s daughter), with special thanks to all the family, who helped me so much with details.
