Born December 25th, 1918 (a special Christmas baby,) our beloved mother passed away peacefully at Victoria General Hospital on November 12, 2011. She will be sadly missed by her three children, Joy, (Rob), Wendy, (Cliff) and Darryl, (Sara), her grandchildren, Heather, (Don), Patrick, (Eileen) and great-grandchildren, Daniel and Jacob. She was predeceased by her husband, Herb, in 1991. Our mother will aways be remembered for her wonderful zest for life, her enjoyment of outdoor activities, and the great joy she found in her many visits to Florida and Maine to visit family and friends. In her last fifty years she took up painting and would spend many happy hours creating works of art that adorn the walls of all of her children and grandchildren. To us they are treasures that will always bring back many happy memories. We would like to thank the staff at Valencia for their many kindnesses to our mother. We would also like to thank the very compassionate and caring staff at VGH during her final days.
