Predeceased by her husband, her parents, David and Elizabeth Johnson and one daughter, Gail Elaine Tessier. Mrs. Pickering is survived by her son-in-law, Roger Tessier, Rochester, N.Y.; and grandchildren, Debbie (Pat) Burke, and great grandchildren, Brendan, Keirnan, Syracuse, N.Y. and grandchild, Mark Tessier, Los Angeles, Cal., grandchild, Lisa (Dan) Manalang and great grandchildren, Abigail and Sofia, Hawthorne, Cal,; son, Terry (Ev) Pickering, Delta, B.C; and grandchildren, Derek (Taryn) Pickering, and great grandchildren, Ayden, Declan, Tsawwassen, B.C.; and Curtis (Luba) Pickering, Vancouver, B.C.; daughter, Marjorie (Ken) McMorran, Medicine Hat, Alta., and grandchildren, Greg (Debbie) McMorran and great grandchildren, Alexander, Olivia, Medicine Hat, Alta., grandchild, Meaghan McMorran (Mike McWilliams), sisters-in-law, Olive Johnson, Melita, Man.; Germaine Pickering, Lake Oswego, Ore., Cecily Pickering, Brandon, Man.; and Betty Pickering, Weyburn, Sask.; as well as numerous nieces and nephews across Canada and the U.S.A. Win was a charter member of the U.C.W., an active member of the Legion Auxillary and was very involved with Community Clubs. If dinner wasn't on the table at 6 o'clock there must have been a banquet she was serving at the church, the legion hall or the community hall. Mom took up golfing late in life and anything within 100 yards was makeable with her putter. Dementia took her memories and her spirit and finally her life. Now she is at peace. No flowers by request. If friends so desire, contributions to a charity of one's choice my be tokens of remembrance. Arrangements in care of Tubman Cremation and funeral Services, Indian Head.
