There is a beautiful Tribute to Willa on her page of Faye Dewhurst's database, "Dewhurst's of Canada," on ROOTSWEB.com and ANCESTRY.com. Here are a few selected portions of the "Tribute To A Wonderful Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother":

       "Starting from her days in college, she sang. She was a professional singer with the acclaimed Fred Waring Chorale, and she sang in the Hollywood Bowl. Willa was offered a short term contract with the Metropolitan Opera in New York, which she turned down as she felt it would conflict with her Christian walk. Nonetheless, she continued to sing professionally throughout Southern California, and especially enjoyed singing the lead soprano solos in Handel's Messiah....
       Willa loved to travel, and travel she did. When she was about nine, she and her parents moved to Southern California on the advice of her doctor. She always remembered the trip, in a model T Ford with curtians. But the really big move came in 1956, when, with her husband Garnet, she moved from California to Canada to take over the family farm that Garnet had inherited....
       One of the more spectacular experiments on the farm, was the turnip crop - to this day, some of the children gag at the sight of turnips. And everyone remembers that there was no need for a dinner bell on the farm. No bell could match Mom's high "C", a yodel that could be heard for miles. Even the neighbors knew when it was supper hour.
Willa survived the loss of two husbands, and following the loss of Garnet in 1965, she carried on running the family farm alone, while simultaneously raising five children. I am sure it was that same tenacious nature that enabled her to overcome no less than three bouts of cancer, enjoying surprisingly good health for most of her life. Mom sold the farm - it was subsequently turned into the Orchard View Golf Course - and she retained a small portion on which she built a new home in which she retired."

Readers are urged to read the entire tribute to this inspiring, talented, loving, well-loved and highly-regarded woman of God.
