BECH, Mildred
July 30, 1924 - February 3, 2015
Mildred (Mimi) Bech 鈥� dancing queen, consummate knitter, fisherman's friend 鈥� has crossed the river to join her husband Jens Peter Bech. Mimi's loves included ballroom dancing with friends, coffee at Willowbrook Mall, a lively trout on the line, a tidy house, cruising, family gatherings, and camping trips throughout Canada. She took great pride in her family's achievements, and especially the achievements of her grandchildren.
Mimi was born in Denmark in 1924. She immigrated to Canada with Jens and their two sons in 1958. Mimi left this world at five to midnight on Feb. 3, surrounded by her family and saving the last dance for Peter. Mimi is survived by her sons Poul (Ninglan) and Soren (Joan); grandsons Mikel (Natalia) and Dana (Nicole); her twin sister Lilly Kanstrup; and nieces and nephews.
Family and friends will gather to honour Mimi's memory in early March. Please call 604 886-3082 or e-mail soren.bech@shaw.ca for details. In lieu of flowers, the family would welcome your contribution to the BC Alzheimer Society or BC Steelhead Society.
