Our mother was happiest when she was with her family and spoiling them. She lived to cook and bake and was very adventurous in the kitchen. She was really a short order cook always trying her best to please everyone and she never let us down. An invitation to a meal at Maisie's was always accepted and enjoyed, especially during the lobster season. She made annual Christmas deliveries of her shortbread and plum loaf to her family and friends. She was still making her own bread as store bought bread just didn't cut it for Maisie. Halloween usually brought more adults than kids, they came for their favourite fudge. She watched a tv show in the 60's which featured a doughnut recipe, and she has been making those same coconut doughnuts for more than 50 years. All of her children had no choice but to learn how to cook when we moved out, always calling her for advice. She looked so forward to every Sunday evening when her sister-in-law and best friend, Betty Sommers would come for a gab.
Visitation will take place on Monday, June 10 from 6 until 9 p.m. at Fillmore & Whitman Funeral Home, 8 Clyde Ave., Sydney Mines. Funeral service Tuesday, June 11 at 11 a.m. at Carman United Church, Sydney Mines with Rev. Nick Phillips officiating.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Carman United Church, the An Cala Unit at The Cape Breton Regional Hospital or any charity of your choice.
The family would like to thank Dr. Kohlsmith for his care over the years and the doctors and nurses at the Regional Hospital for helping our mother in her time of need.
