She was predeceased by four brothers Alfred, William, James and Wesley. Until her illness seven years ago, Mrs. Willows was a great source of help and inspiration to her family church and community. For many years she was organist in the local church. A profusion of flowers bore silent tribute to the respect in which she was held in the community. Rev. N. T.
