Those who knew her, knew that she was the heart of the family. She had enough love to include others who had no family. She always had a hot coffee or meal waiting for those who came to visit. She enjoyed gardening, crafting, bingo, puzzles & camping. No problem was too big that she wouldn’t be able to help find a solution. She gave from the heart & will be missed by many who had the fortune to know her.
A Celebration of Life will be held on August 23, 2025 at Romeo Lake/Peavine Hall at 1:00 PM. 6517 Township Road 590, Lac St. Anne County. With Internment to follow at Eastlawn Cemetery 3202 Township Road 594, Barrhead County where she will join her husband Jim in eternal rest.
