Mum's greatest joy was caring for her family. Preparing many family meals and hosting many family events. Mum was a loyal, loving friend and cared deeply for them.
A skilled & accomplished seamstress, mum spent countless hours sewing beautiful outfits for our family. As well as a creative and skilled knitter, we received beautiful knitted sweaters. Her hands were never still.
Working as a Nurse Aide in the emergency department at Grand River Hospital for over 20 years, mum will be remembered for the professional, loving care & comfort she gave her patients.
Mum was a quiet prayer warrior whose faith gave her strength to face many trials with grace and dignity.
She will always be our "English Rose" 🌹.
