Mom passed away at the age of 88 on December 20, 2023 at the Palliative Care Unit with her family by her side. She is now reunited with the love of her life, Dad, who passed in October 2022.
Born on January 27, 1935 in Brakes Cove, Mom later moved to Corner Brook to work at Western Memorial Regional Hospital where she met Dad. They married soon after and had 5 children together. After the hospital, Mom kept busy sewing, knitting, teaching Sunday School and bowling. She eventually went back to work at the Popular Shoe Store where she spent many years until a fire destroyed the business. Mom then started to enjoy life knitting for charity, volunteering at the Legion and spending a lot of time at the curling rink. Mom was known to be full of fun, outgoing and left an impression on everyone she met.
Mom will be remembered by her devoted children Judy (Bob), Derrick (Bette), Linda, (Alvin), Keith, and Cathy (Bob). She was a doting nanny to her ten grandchildren Penni, Ryan, Marc, Staci, Jennifer, Janis, Kenisha, Samantha, Hannah and Carter, as well as great-grandmother to Kia, Kenzie, Ella, Max, Fynn and Frankie. She is also survived by Mildred (Stuart), Anne (Robert), Veronica, Ellen (Stan), Yvonne (Herman) and Jacquie (Glen)
Mom was the oldest child of Winnifred and Dominic Park. She was predeceased by her siblings Henry, Donnel, Eugene, Rose, Jane and Grace.
