She will be forever missed by her five children, Cheryl (Brian) Chambers, Debra (Brian) Ford, Rick (Lori) Cumming, Randy (Sandra) Cumming, and Linda (Tony) Hoeppner; eight grandchildren; as well as many good friends and relatives.
Her final wish was to die at home, and a very special thank you is given to her family for their loving care. Also a big thank you to Dr. Megan Mackenzie and the Palliative Care worker Patricia.
