She adored her grandchildren and great grandchildren delighting in spending time with them, watching them grow and develop.
Both family and friends were very important to Polly enjoying family times, and entertaining with her friends. Throughout her life whether entertaining, playing bridge, and raising her family she found time for laughter and love. Her last two years at Chartwell-Georgian Traditions in Collingwood brought her together with many new friends enjoying many special times. Her bubbly outgoing personality endeared her to anyone who met her and made her special to many of them.
Being an avid golfer she enjoyed her time with friends on the golf course, whether in Meaford or in Bonita Springs, Florida. Singing played an important part of her life. She was a member of the choral group, The Perryettes, and also sang in the Meaford United Church Choir for many years, and was always ready to join in any opportunity to sing. She also enjoyed her volunteer work with the Meaford Hospital Auxiliary and helped open the gift shop at the hospital.
