Tove was a valued member of WTEP (We’re Together Ending Poverty) since joining in 2012. She faithfully attended meetings, actively participated in discussions, served as co-treasurer for several years, wrote numerous letters to politicians on behalf of WTEP and represented us in stakeholders meetings with the government.
Tove will be sorely missed, not only because of her contributions to our work but especially because of who she was as a person.
Her red lace up boots symbolized her passion for life and people. She was always curious, always learning, always engaged in social justice issues and causes that made a difference to people’s lives. Her volunteer commitments were numerous and she attended so many presentations, workshops, film showings and book clubs. She loved walking, learned how to make her own drum and was a supporter of indigenous issues and the need for truth and reconciliation. She was always cheerful and positive. She treasured each day and was determined to make each one count. She did not let her illness define her but appreciated the health she did have and continued to contribute to the community around her. We will miss you so much Tove. May you journey well and in peace. WTEP
