Mom was a devoted wife and mother, superb cook, consummate gardener and avid reader and crocheter. Mom was a devoted member of St. Leo’s Parish where she read faithfully. Mom was a songbird and lent her voice to the church choir. Music was a constant till the end of her days and the concerts at Seaview Manor were well received by mom. Mom was happiest at the centre of family gatherings and celebrations, many spent at the cottage in Grand Mira.
