Born in 1913, Florence Mary “Mollie” Nye lived in Lynn Valley for almost the entirety of her life. She worked as a teacher for more than four decades and was heavily involved in sponsoring Red Cross Youth Clubs.
The North Vancouver School Board named a teaching award for outstanding community service in her honour. Upon her death in 1997, her long-time home was turned into a small community centre for Lynn Valley.
The photo above shows Mollie (on the right) and her sister Joyce on a beach at the foot of St. Patricks Avenue, ca. 1920s.
