Mom is predeceased by her parents, her husband, and brothers Jack and Robert.
Mom devoted her life to raising her family and nurturing us with love, delicious home cooked meals, desserts and favorite after school treats.
Mom’s artistic flare for style, home decor and fashion was ahead of the times.
Mom was always strengthening her faith by being active in the following ministries: catechism teacher, the Alleluia Prayer Group, the CWL, and Pastoral Care at Saint Michael’s Basilica and the Miramichi Regional Hospital.
