She was also a member of the East Hants Late Bloomers Garden Club. She was known for all her flowers, especially her roses. In the winter when she couldn’t garden she was all about Christmas, Christmas trees and her beautiful wreaths. She was very proud of her wreaths. She made thousands over the years and also passed on her skill teaching a lot of friends and family. Christmas was very important to her and her husband, Brian. They were known to many as Santa and Mrs. Claus. Before settling down in Georgefield, Pinky was born and raised in Guysborough County. It always held a special place in her heart.
