Mom was a devoted long time member of Beta Sigma Pi, very much enjoyed the camaraderie of the 'girls'.
Besides her family, Mother's greatest love in life was music. It gave her great comfort and unbounded joy. Mom was a life long member of Wesley United Church Choir, spanning 50+ years. Besides Wesley Choir, she was a proud past member of the MUN Festival Choir and several Festival and church choirs in Fredericton, New Brunswick. She took immense pleasure that granddaughter Amanda embraced the family gift of music, and took Mom along on a magical musical journey through her endeavors. At her MUN Music School graduation recital, Amanda concluded with a 'tip of the hat' to 'Nan' with a violin rendition of "Jesu, joy of man's desiring", moms very favorite hymn. I will never forget mom's sheer delight and pride felt by that tribute.
As we celebrate her life and mourn her passing, we wish her 'God speed' on her welcomed journey of eternal rest, until we meet again.
