Winnifred Gwendoline Tyerman passed away peacefully on June 18, 2025. She embraced many roles in her lifetime, as a devoted wife, loving mother, cherished grandma and a proud GG. Her teaching career spanned several decades, beginning in rural schools from 1954 - 1955. She taught in Plumas from 1956 - 1963, returning there from 1970 - 1987, and later continued her career in Gladstone from 1987 until her retirement in 1991. She was passionate about teaching the early years. In 1985, she earned her second teaching degree, and with also a certificate in special education, further demonstrating her commitment to nurturing young learners. She was an active member of her community, generously giving her time to many committees and groups, including The Lions, Red Hatters, CGIT, UCW, the church board and choir, and North Agassiz group. At home she found joy in life’s simple pleasures gardening, baking, sewing, crafting, traveling, and camping. Above all her greatest passion was her family. In her later years, her grandchildren and great - grandchildren became the light of her life filling her days with pride, love, and happiness. She found great joy in supporting them in everything they did. Whether it was hockey, baseball, curling, football, dance or any other activity, she was always proud to cheer them on from the sidelines. She made her home in Plumas with her husband Len, where together they raised their three children Gayle (Arnold), Shannon, and Garth. Their family grew with the arrival of grandchildren Justin, Ryan, Chelsey (Chris), Matt (Casey), Kylee (Sean), Zac (Leah) and Parker (Carson). In time she was blessed with a new generation to love, her great - grandchildren KC, Tristen, Tyson, Liam, Everett, Jemma, Kieran, Wyatt, Cassandra, Gunnar, Brantley, Brooklyn, Hardy and Dawson. Her family was her pride and joy, and she cherished each moment spent with them. She was predeceased by her husband Len Tyerman, her parents Teddy and Lydia Dear, her in - laws Fletcher and Mary Tyerman, and her brother Bill and his wife Louise.
