WEINARD, Audrey Bernice (nee Gellatly) May 08, 1922 - January 18, 2013 Audrey passed away peacefully at Pine Acres Home on Friday January 18, 2013. She is survived by her three children; Ron Dobbin, Wendy Dobbin and Fred Weinard. Our mother would tell us the story of how on her way home from school she noticed what she thought was a log in the lake, but it started to move up and down, she was a Pioneer who saw the Ogopogo. We remember life on the lake and many wonderful picnics on Goats Peak, Audrey's favourite spot. "Rest in Peace, Mom". For those who wish to do so, donations in memory of Audrey may be made to the Gellatly Nut Farm or the Gellatly Cemetery.
