Mom was born in Humbermouth, Corner Brook, but moved to Lark Harbour where she resided for the remainder of her life. Those of you who knew our Mom knew she was a very important part of the community , she was well known for her volunteer work in Lark Harbour, especially St. James Anglican Church. She will be remembered as a kind, gentle person with a love of life and a strong belief in her faith. Mom was a thoughtful person who always put the needs of those before her own. She was a loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother, who always enjoyed an opportunity to boast about her family. Mom was loved by many and she will be missed by all who had the privilege to know her.
