(Jack Stimson) at a Church dance for Canadian soldiers. Beryl and Jack were married on February 4, 1945
at Brighton, England, and in the spring of 1946 Beryl along with many other War Brides moved to Canada to
begin a new life. It was in Taber, AB that Beryl and Jack raised their family and co-founded Hi-Way

always the happiest when surrounded by her children and grandchildren, she loved to share her many
stories of life in England and the many challenges faced when she first moved to Canada. Mom was, is, and
always will be a loving inspiration of strength for her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.
