Loving, fun, funny, adventurous, generous. A Wellesley nurse graduate, Mom had a passion for taking care of others. The loves of her life were her daughters and grandchildren. Never a day went by that Mom reached out to connect with her family. Mom was a dedicated volunteer with organizations such as the IODE, Royal Ontario Museum and more recently – the Beaver Valley Outreach. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and enjoyed many deep friendships.
