Born March 16, 1927 in Pittsburg Township, Ontario. she was the youngest daughter of John and Mary McMaster. She was predeceased by her brothers; Harold, Russell, Ryan and Glenn McMaster.

She is remembered by many as being an avid sports fan of curling, baseball and football as well as an oudoorswoman enjoying camping, fishing, hunting, horse back riding and ski-dooing, and even flying planes. In accordance with her wishes, a private family memorial will be held at a later date.
