The beloved matriarch of our family will be fondly remembered and missed as the Grams who was the best baker in the world and happily taught her grandchildren the secret to her craft yet never indulged herself in any of her sweet squares and incredible pies.
She did however sample her cinnamon raisin buns and her carrot cake.
Bob, Sandy and Jim were blessed with a Mom who loved to entertain her family with home cooked meals made with love in her kitchen where her little TV was always on as she cheered for her Jays, Leafs and Tiger Woods.
Bess enjoyed going to Bob and Jane's, Sandy's trailer and Jim's cottage on Skootamatta Lake playing euchre, fishing and cooking her famous barbeque chicken.
Bess was a true music lover who adored Tina Turner, Jersey Boys and saw her favourite Kim Mitchell in concert more times than we can count.
The cook, the baker, the comforter and our biggest cheerleader.
Forever loved and missed. May we all dance under the patio lanterns and make Bess smile. Fondly remembered by the Locke family, Gordon, Sandy and Billy. Loved by many nieces, nephews and friends.
Family would like to thank the kind and dedicated staff at Extendicare Nursing Home. A private family service will take place.
