Hope will also be greatly missed by her cousin Grant, his wife Sylviane, and their son Israel. Hope was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba and remained in the same neighbourhood since childhood. She loved walking, music, going for coffee, a good, long chat, and shopping for clothes and accessories. She was very fashionable and was still applying her mascara up until her last day in hospital. Everyone loved her long strawberry blonde hair and she is fondly remembered for having a great big heart!
