McCRAE, Marilyn. February 1946 – July 2011. On July 14, 2011 with her loving husband at her side, our Magnificent Mom passed after a lengthy battle against cancer. She is survived by her husband of 45 years Jim, son Rod (Donna), daughter Kathy (Rick), grandson Will, and sisters Elaine (Otto) and Darlene (Charlie). She was a founding member of the Back Country Horsemen of BC, and participated in numerous other equine organizations including volunteering for Horse Council of BC. Her greatest enjoyments were being a Grandma to Will and of course shopping. By her request, there will be no funeral service however a celebration of her life will be hosted by the family this fall. The family wishes to thank the staff at Abbotsford Palliative Care and Langley Hospice for the care she received.
