She was predeceased by her father Peter Knittle, her first husband Doug Coles, her mother Anna, as well as by brothers Werner and Edward.

Grieving her loss are her loving husband Howie Rains, her devoted children Jacquie Coles-Hromyk (John), Douglas Coles Jr., and her grandchildren Tessa and Jordan with whom she was very close.

She also leaves behind siblings Betty, Bernard (Cecile), Tony (Kim), Peter (Anne), Cathy (Len), Rita (Gary), Sharon (Dale), and Gloria (Adrian), as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins, friends, and church family.

Following cremation, a funeral mass was held in St. Mary of Assumption Roman Catholic Church in Westlock on August 18, 2020.
