She was loved and admired by the dozens of children she cared for over 4 decades at her home on Joseph St. in Kitchener. Her giving spirit made everyone feel special and wanted. She spent her days with a deep faith that involved praying for everyone she knew, and excluded the needs of no one. She loved knitting, sewing, cooking fabulous 9 course meals, and making every holiday a very special occasion for her family.
The family wishes to thank the staff at Cambridge Country Manor, her home for the last 6 years, for the truly outstanding care they provided her, especially during the extreme circumstances brought on by two Covid outbreaks and her subsequent serious illnesses. Their care and attention was extraordinary, and highly commendable, with too many staff to thank to begin mentioning names.
