Rinda was a member of Southwest River United Church Margate
and previously of Humphrey Memorial United in Moncton and Quispamsis
United Churches in NB. She was a long time CGIT leader as
well as a member of the Long River Women’s
Institute.
Rinda adored her grandchildren and especially enjoyed
watching them grow into responsible, loving and caring
adults. She was well known for her baking skills,
particularly for her fudge and sandwich trays that she prepared for
charitable and church functions. She loved nature and
animals and enjoyed watching the hummingbirds, squirrels, fox and
chipmunks in her yard. Rinda made many friends wherever she went and
was never happier than when she was surrounded by her family and
friends for a meal or special celebration.
Resting at the Davison Funeral Home in Kensington.
