Avelina was the heart of her family, always providing a loving home for everyone who visited or returned to St. Lawrence. She enjoyed the long time she worked with her friends at USM and BBHCC. She loved working in her gardens and her many wood-working crafts which became popular among her family and friends.
She loved to dance to popular tunes, doing her own fancy footwork to the music of her favourites, Bruce Springsteen and Neil Diamond.
Avelina leaves behind many saddened hearts and treasured memories.
In keeping with Avelina wishes cremation has taken place.
A Celebration of life service will be held at a later date.
