Wells, April Dorothy (nee Wynn)

Apr 6, 1943 – Sep 30, 2016

Mom was amazing! She knew her mind and never hesitated to speak it. She was deeply loved by her three daughters, Dee (Anderson), Tara and Cosima, and her grandsons Jack (Anderson) and Tao (Buterman). She was like a second mom to many of her daughter’s friends, and she will be truly missed by the folks she sang and jammed with in Kimberley, Victoria, Lund and Haida Gwaii. April loved to party, dancing, drumming and singing well into the night. She was passionate about social justice and the environment, and gave generously of her time and expertise in many volunteer roles. In lieu of flowers, please grow more veggies or consider a worm composter for your kitchen. Mom wanted us all to be more food secure, and she would be thrilled that we are getting the word out in her obit.

To commemorate her life, April wanted a party with lots of food, music, and dancing. Anyone who has words to share is invited to speak. Kids welcome, of course! November 5, at 4 p.m., at Marysville’s Resker Hall (660 307th Ave, Kimberley).
