Zita’s life was dedicated to those most
dear to her along with family, education, and her faith. Mom graduated
from Prince of Wales and began her teaching career in Vernon in 1943
for the salary of $600.00. From there, she moved to Georgetown became
principal, and met the love of her life George. In 1945 Mom moved to a
two room school in Uigg. Mom always had a thirst for knowledge, and
continued pursuing her education, graduating from UPEI with her
Bachelor of Education in 1973. Mom retired from teaching at Montague
High School completing a 33 year span, touching the lives of many.
Mom’s family was everything to her, she celebrated the
highs, and listened and guided us through the lows. She always wanted
updates of what everyone was doing. A woman of strong faith,
Mom’s most memorable trip was travelling to the Holy Land.
She was a devoted member of Catholic Womens’ League,
Hospice, Eucharistic Ministry and Right to Life.
At 93 years of age mom was still driving, and visiting the
“old people” dropping off fish cakes! She enjoyed her daily
crossword, Cryptoquote and loved a game of bridge.
The last three years, living with vascular dementia and Covid
dramatically impacted the quality of Mom’s life, but it was
an honor and a privilege to be with Mom especially on those days when
her memories came floating back. Sharp witted, world traveller, music
lover, friend, advisor… you did good Mom… you did good! Rest
easy.
