After a brief battle with cancer, mom passed away at Riverview Health Center on Sunday, July 8, 2018.
She is survived by her husband of 64 years, Bernie, children; Tyrone (Patsy), Heather (Brian), Yvonne (Ken), Stewart (Kathy), Tracy (Greg), grandchildren; Tricia, Chris, Trent, Sean, Wade, Dean, Dustin, Daniel, Craig, Corey, Randi, Kenny, Michelle, David, Jennifer, Nicole, and Trevor, great grandchildren and 1 great great grandchild.
Mom set her eye on the cute town hockey star without knowing what she was getting herself into, but she was able to handle it.
Mom was very involved in helping others through sponsorship and counselling . She spent countless hours on the phone helping people on their journey. Aside from being an active mother and grandmother she also had an impact on other peoples lives in her job as a vision therapist. Mom was a people person but still enjoyed her solitude.
Mom’s faith carried her through and she always said, “no doom and gloom.” Mom ended her life in the most positive way. She had an opportunity to express her love and she was grateful for that.
A celebration of life will take place on Friday, July 13, 2018 at 2:00 p.m. at Chapel Lawn, 4000 Portage Avenue with interment and reception to follow.
Flowers gratefully declined, please consider a memorial donation to a charity of your choice.
