Cousin of BC teacher killed in mudslide remembers victim's life: "She was a force of natur

The family of a teacher killed in a mudslide in Coquitlam, B.C., during the atmospheric river says Sonya McIntyre was an optimist with an unwavering affection for the next generation. "She's been a teacher, I want to say for the last 25 years," cousin Jacqueline McIntyre told Global News. "That's been her main mission. Her life's work. She loved those kids." "She was a force of nature," McIntyre said. "So bright and optimistic and sunny." McIntyre’s body was found on Sunday afternoon, one day after the house she rented along Coquitlam’s Quarry Road washed away. As Global's Emily Lazatin reports, her family is now left to up the pieces.
