She believed in doing what one could to enhance the lives of others in need, young and old, here and afar, and requested that in lieu of flowers, memorial donations be made to charities of one's choice or to George Street United Church, Plan International, Engineers Without Borders Canada, or to organizations directed at responsible land stewardship.

"When all is said and done, at the end of the day, it's all about family and those special people who made life a pleasure and helped you achieve something that you could share with others."
