Mom who died hours before daughter’s Tofino wedding wanted her family to be happy: twin
TOFINO, B.C. — A mother of three who died just hours before her daughter’s wedding in Tofino, B.C., would have wanted the celebration to go ahead, says her twin brother.
Pat Doyle said his sister, Ann Wittenberg, was floating on a surf board with her 21-year-old daughter, Rachel Emon, Sunday morning when a wave pulled them into the ocean.
The 52-year-old fought to save her daughter, but could not save herself, Doyle said in an interview on Thursday.
The RCMP said it received a report of a woman in distress at the popular Long Beach surf location on Sunday.
