Farewell

Ramona Pfnister had been a Legion member for almost 30 years when she attended the 2006 Christmas Dinner at the Forest Grove Legion. Despite the 30 minutes’ drive each way from 108 Mile Ranch, she attended many an event in the Grove over the years. For health reasons, Ramona had to leave her beloved South Cariboo on March 29, to move closer to her daughter’s home in Courtney on Vancouver Island.
