Mavis Amabelle
(nee Malet-Veale)
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beloved Dodi. She was predeceased by her husband, John and her dear son, Bradley.

Her family was the joy of her life and in every way they felt her love and devotion.
Mom wrote this poem for us:
Remember
When you’re down and lonely
And no light you can see ahead
May you find strength in knowing
Mom really isn’t dead.
If you reach a hand out
You will gently feel my touch
For we never leave the people
We have learned to love so much.
So keep a smile always in sunshine and in rain
And believe in what I tell you,
We will all meet again.

Individual Note: Born at Kouderivier near Caledon, Cape Colony (became part of South Africa in 1910). Ralph travelled by ship to England in 1892 with sister Violet to live at Passaford Manor House near Hatherleigh, Devon, with his grandfather and second wife Ellen. Attended Blundells School in Tiverton, Devon until 1906, then returned to Kouderivier, South Africa (aboard the Dunvegan Castle of the Donalld Currie Line, which left Southampton on Dec 22, 1906 bound for the Cape) until about 1910. Went to Katanning , Western Australia for a year, then probably to Port Said in Egypt with Imperial Army. Probably arrived on the east coast of Canada in 1912 or 1913 by ship. He told of being in Regina in the summer of 1913 in a movie theatre when the tornado took out several blocks of buildings and houses. In 1913 he homesteaded near McBride, B.C. at a place on the Fraser River called Tumbledick Creek. He probably got there working on construction of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. He helped found the McBride Farmer's Institute. Enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force in 1916, after a failed attempt in 1915, and spent a year in the trenches in France, then went to Sandhurst to train and got a commission in the Imperial Army. From there he went to India as a Captain in the Khyber Pass, fighing against Afghanistan. Was married in Peshawar, India to Eileen Byers, daughter of a Major Byers of the Indian Army. Returned to McBride in 1920, where he sold his homestead and obtained the first liquor license, running the liquor store until 1927. Moved to Red Pass for several years, where he ran the hotel. Returned to Canada from England in 1931 (Southampton to Montreal). In about 1931 moved to the West End of Vancouver, living at Englesea Lodge for a time, and then in several other places around English Bay, including the caretaker's cottage of the Sylvia Hotel. He and Eileen divorced, and he married Sophia Emily Wehlen in 1941. Worked at the Ozada POW camp west of Calgary, which operated from May to December of 1942. Ozada was a temporary 'tent camp' which housed German POW's until the Lethbridge Camp was built. It consisted of condemned WWI American Army Bell tents, which all leaked when it rained. Ralph received a payment of 237 English pounds here from the estate of his mother Amabel Malet-Veale, on August 27, 1942. At some point he also worked as a camp guard in Medicine Hat. Retired from the D.V.A. in 1956, and the family moved to Gibsons, a small town just north of Vancouver on the Sunshine Coast. Here he gardened, cleared land, cut firewood, built an addition and a cottage, raised chickens, turkeys, and a couple of sheep.
1901 census: listed as schoolboy, age 11, living at Pencarwick school, Littleham, Devon.
