Life story

Mom will be forever remembered for her commitment and strong sense of community. Mom will be remembered by many

for her several years as a swimming instructor and lifeguard. Along with these, moms volunteer work included,

organizing and setting up a weekly line dancing class for seniors of all ages. Fulfilling her passion for animals, mom was

committed to her daily joy of spending time with her two cats, along with scenic walks with her canine friends. Mom immensely,

enjoyed gardening, sewing, knitting and crocheting. Of these and more, her tremendous sense of humour and joy of life

will be forever treasured, cherished and remembered.
