She is survived by her sister-in-law Dorothy Carman, nephews Garry Carman (Mariette), Brian Carman (Noeleen), Jim Carman (Brenda), nieces Noreen Sterling (Barry), Betty-Anne Hicks (Ross), Joan Bateman and Laurie Miller. Thanks to Victoria Heights Staff, Doctor Clarke, Doctor D. Zamfir, nurses and staff of 6 north, Mariette and Garry for all the care.
