The message of the gospel was so important to her that she

church activities. She was very active in the Women’s
Missionary Society, Pioneer Girls, the Awana Program
and she sang in the choir for years. She was a
lifetime member of the Edgett’s Landing Women’s
Institute, being a member for over 50 years.

ladies; she was always willing to lend a helping hand.
She was known for her baking and made many wedding and
birthday cakes over the years. She was a
Provincial judge for Home Economics for the rural fairs.
Mildred and Eldon loved snowmobiling and enjoy the many trips through
Caledonia Mountain. She enjoyed bird watching and loved seeing the
chickadees. After Eldon passed she and her friends were
known as “The Golden Girls” and enjoyed their many
adventures while camping at Fundy Park. While she
was at the nursing home her favourite pastime was knitting, doing
crossword puzzles and reading her Bible. She is now with her
Lord and Saviour and at peace.
Psalms 46:10- He says, “Be
still, and know that I am God; I will be
exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the
earth.”
