A beautiful gift sent from above,
put here on Earth for us to love.
As a young girl in the 50’s, she broke the mould,
off to university she did go.
Through tenacious perseverance she found her way,
a career in pharmacy is where she stayed.
Encouragement from her parents and faith in the Lord,
a well deserved recipient of the Inspirational Woman Award!
Touching people in all walks of life,
sharing wisdom and laughter, spreading her light.
Genuine and sincere with amazing insight,
she was truly an inspirational woman of delight.
She married her soulmate, through triumph and strife,
they jumped through the hurdles and held on tight.
Juggling a home, nine children and a career,
always making time for people she held dear.
Her words of encouragement, comfort and praise,
we will hold in our hearts through all of our days.
Her angelic eyes could compare to no other,
we will always be thankful and treasure the gift
of our mother (Written by daughter Mary Belinda Campbell)
Blessings and Thanks to all from the Currie Family
