Mom worked at Bell Telephone, A&P, Workman’s Compensation Board before having children. She was very involved at Poplar Road P.S where her seven children attended, going on countless school trips and always helped out at the Strawberry Festival!
She enjoyed being part of the Red Hat Society.
Mom loved her darts and was a master bowler for years. She loved to dance especially to Tom Jones & Engelbert Humperdinck 🙂
Our home was always super organized and spotless! Mom had many part-time jobs including crossing guard, McDonald’s and Tupperware to name a few 🙂 Mom loved to sip on liqueurs especially Tequila Rose and Baileys!
If so desired memorial donations may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
