A former resident of Pushthrough, and longtime resident of Milltown, mother’s kindness and her generous soul has touched the lives of so many people who she was proud to call her friends. She will always be remembered for her love of cooking, baking, and sharing whatever she had with others. Mother was active in her community as a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Seniors’ Club, and ACW, and enjoyed many hobbies and interests. Mother’s happy demeanor, personal strength, and devotion to her family are memories and life lessons that will be cherished forever and she will be greatly missed.
The family is forever grateful to the committee and residents of Greenwood Manor, Milltown for their great kindness and friendship, and to the doctors, nurses, and staff of Carmelite House for the exemplary care and the love shown to mother.
