Her dedication to West Vancouver history was instrumental in organizing and setting up the West Vancouver Archives where over the years she has contributed hundreds of hours of volunteer time. Mary knew where every thing was and could answer almost any question elating to West Vancouver history. Mary had not been able to come to the archives this past year, and although she is no longer with us her presence can still be found through her hand written notes and signs that say "written by Mary Chapman'", "donated by Mary Chi^man" - her work and efforts will be with us for many years to come.
