Constantly on the search for the perfect primitive hot spring and the best chocolate almond croissant , travelling and sharing life with Alex was always exciting and rewarding.

After a short struggle with cancer, Alex left us to soon but peacefully at home on a sunny October day surrounded by her family in a room full of love.
Always resolutely following her own path she emigrated from the UK at 19 and Married Martin Golder.
Martin and Alex raised their two wonderful children together, moving in 1981 by school bus from Ontario to Vancouver and onto Victoria.
