She was a very large, important part of her family and at the hub of all family activities. She enjoyed a very good game of cards; especially her passion, bridge. She was a member of St. Leonard (Mt.

She is survived by the love of her life Patrick Fahey and her daughter, Tracy; son, Sean (Yvonne) and her two grandchildren, Ashlyn and Leah, of whom she was so proud. Also survived by brothers, Bernie (Carolyn) Bates of New Waterford, Willis (Dot) Bates of Westville; sister, Marilyn (Ed) Connor of Longmeadow, Ma and Rene (Tom) Smith of Victoria, B.C. Also survived by several nieces and nephews who loved her and will miss her love and guidance.
