Mom was like a second mother to her nieces; Judy and Lisa and many of her children’s friends who called her mom. A very special thank you to our dear friend, June Morash, for your companionship, support and help with mom’s care over the last few years. June and mom had a special bond.

Later, she was employed, until her retirement, as manager with the Red Cross Homemakers Association for Dundas and surrounding area. Mom was a prolific writer of poetry. She was very proud to have one of her poems published in a book called “Lives Lived: Stories North of 50”. Thank you to the staff at Aberdeen Gardens where she spent 11 happy years. Thank you to her good friend Mary Perry for your companionship. Her last few months were spent at Wentworth Lodge, who provided her with wonderful, compassionate and respectful care.
Mom’s faith was an important part of her life. She prayed the rosary daily. She was a long time parishioner of St. Augustine’s Parish and a member and supporter of the CWL.
