Over the years Mom was involved in many groups and organizations in her church and community. She enjoyed a good game of cards, bingo, darts and all other social functions. She loved get-togethers at her home and all was welcome; the more the merrier.
Mom opened her home to many, including visitors, tourists and out of town workers. She made lifelong friendships and developed a special bond with the Hydro and Ferry workers.
Our family would like to thank the staff at the Ruby Manor Retirement Home. The care, love and tenderness you gave Mom over the past 2 years was beyond exceptional. She loved all of you. We are so grateful that she was given the privilege to remain in her “new home” for her final days. You went above and beyond for Mom and the rest of the family during this time.
