She was a member of the WaWa Ladies Shrine Auxiliary and was a long standing member with Daughters of the Nile Anget Temple 123 in Regina since 1961, as well as other special interest groups within the community. A self-named group of life time friends fondly referred to as “The Dirty Dozen” were a very important part of Chick’s life right up to the very end. The family would like to express a special thanks to the remaining members, Dr. Hugh McIntyre, Nellie Thompson and Russ and Aileen McGhie for all their support. Chick Klein lived her life with grace and dignity, “Always and Forever a Lady”. She is predeceased by her parents, sister Amy and brother Jack and just recently her beloved husband Sammy of 35 years.
