in Five Islands. She enjoyed relaxing at home, while having
a good French Vanilla from Tim’s, playing her scratch tickets, while
watching the Blue Jays, or a good episode of NCIS on TV. She
loved her grand-kids and it showed in the many knitted mittens,
blankets, and tree ornaments she gave them. She enjoyed
traveling to the States to see family, time in the garden,feeding the
squirrels and telling stories. She was very proud to have
