Mom touched the lives of many and no matter how long they knew her, she left a special imprint on their hearts.
Mom had a lot of different jobs throughout her working years and her proudest was being a Red Cross Homemaker. She was an active member of the Canadian Daughters and loved volunteering with Club Day Away helping others.
To name a few of her passions, she loved baking homemade bread and donuts, making chocolate-covered cherries for Christmas, cooking “Grampa’s Chicken and Spaghetti”, knitting socks and baby clothes, playing Bingo, family gatherings and taking road trips to her daughters’ in Thunder Bay, her “home away from home”.
Cremation has taken place. A Celebration of her Life will take place at 11:00 am on Saturday, September 15, 2018 at St. Alban’s Cathedral with Rev. Marion Jackson officiating. A luncheon will follow at the Norman Community Club. Mom will be laid to rest at the Lake of the Woods Cemetery with her husband and son Donnie at a later date.
Our family would like to extend a special Thank You to the staff at Pinecrest Home for the Aged for the care given to Mom over the past 2 years and to Dr. J. Pintar and nurses Adele and Char of 3 East at Lake of the Woods District Hospital. For your compassion and care for our Mom, we will be forever grateful.
“Fly Free Gramma Owl… God Speed”
