Mom devoted her early years to raising her family, whom she was extremely proud of. She always had a strong will and great work ethic, which showed in the many careers she held throughout her lifetime. She certainly had great faith and lived life to the fullest. She enjoyed music, dancing, bingo, her cars and most of all family gatherings.

The family would like to thank the staff, volunteers and associates of the Miners Memorial Manor for the exceptional care that our mother received during the past 16 years.
