Nairn was a daughter of Pioneers in the Cowichan Valley where she resided for most of her life before relocating to Nanaimo, Gold River and Campbell River. Let us all remember the good times, the hunting/camping trips, the amazing apple and lemon meringue pies, short bread cookies as well as those chocolate cakes!
