Mr. Speaker, on April 8, Saskatchewan's 21st lieutenant governor, the Honourable Vaughn Solomon Schofield, passed away, marking an end to a life of service, strong community values and humility.
Vaughn will be remembered for her outstanding contributions to Canada's Armed Forces, highlighted by the numerous honours she held including recently becoming the honorary colonel of 15 Wing Moose Jaw. True to her advocacy for our men and women in uniform, Vaughn established the Lieutenant Governor's Military Service Pin and hosted the Support Our Troops gala, which was a national fundraiser for charities that assist military families.
She had an unwavering and enduring bond with the people of Canada, Saskatchewan and the Canadian Armed Forces. Vaughn's love of service was second to only one thing, her love of family. She was a devoted mother to George and Whitney. She was a loving wife to her best friend and husband Gord, and she truly loved her four grandchildren. They were the light of her life.
Vaughn will be remembered for her charisma. Every room she walked into brightened with her smile and her charisma. May she rest in peace.
