Granny loved to spend time baking and cooking for her special holiday meals. Her butter tarts, cinnamon buns, homemade bread and donuts were to die for. She loved to spend her time playing crib, making puzzles, playing bingo and travelling. You would often hear "Uff Da" on many occasions and would wonder if it was good or bad. She loved to spend her time playing crib, making puzzles, playing bingo and travelling. Her favourite thing to do was spending time with her family. Orpha moved to Selkirk from Innisfail, AB in 2011 to be closer to Brenda, Louis and family. The family would like to thank all the nurses and staff at Betel Nursing Home and Woodlands Courts for all the loving care and support that was given to Granny.

I wish to express my condolences to the Seymour family. I lived next door to Bill's parents in Swan River, and met Orpha years ago when Bill and Orpha visited his parents, along with their two young children. - Posted by: Ruth Graff (Burtniak) (acquaintence) on: Apr 17, 2013
