The Lheidli T’enneh is in mourning following the passing of a longtime elder.

Mary Gouchie passed away last week after a short battle with cancer.

She died, a few weeks shy of her 98th birthday.

Gouchie was the oldest living member of the Lheidli T’enneh.

A funeral service is being held at 2 pm on Saturday from Sacred Heart Church.

She was one of only a few who fluently spoke the Dakelh language.

Flags are flying at half-mast at Prince George City Hall to honour her passing.
