Special Aunt to many nieces and nephews on both sides of the family who faithfully remembered her on special occasions and made her feel so special.
She loved her family deeply and was proud of all of them. She fought a long hard battle for years and finally did not have any fight left. We will cherish the good times and there will be lots of tales and stories of the "good ole days", especially the Manitoulin connection and we can not thank you enough for giving us those memories. Please remember her often as she thought of all of you who were close to her often.
Cremation has taken place. As per mom’s request, there will be no services. She would be afraid that her hair wasn’t done right!
Donations to the Alzheimer Society of Sault Ste. Marie or the charity of your choice would be appreciated.
