May 28, 1939 ~ March 12, 2014
Roma Dawn Stephens passed away peacefully in her sleep on March 12, 2014 at the Gibson Garden Inn and Retirement Centre, at the age of 74.
Born May 28, 1939 in Vancouver BC, she was predeceased by her father Captain Harry Stephens and mother Edith Lewellen Brouse. Also survived by her husband of 24 years, Alan Taylor of Vernon BC.
Roma will always be fondly remembered for her love of animals – horses in her youth followed by small farm animals during her years on Barnston Island, Surrey, BC. She had everything from cats, cows, chickens, goats and most of all dogs. She owned and operated Sunnydale Kennels for many years, raising primarily collies.
Survivors include her two daughters Susan Taylor and Janet (Dwight) Morris; four grandchildren: Tyler Morris, Olivia (Adam) Dalton, Chantal Morris and Shaniah Morris; and one great-granddaughter, Mio Dalton.
Private family memorial was held at Devlin Funeral Home on March 18, 2014.
