Joyfully reunited with her husband, John, who predeceased her in 2000. Loving mother of Fidel and her husband, Dr. Ian McQuistan, Jack Kennedy ( Barbara, Deceased ) and Floyd Kennedy and his wife, Glenna. Much loved Grandma of Jennifer Sinclair, Colin McQuistan, John Kennedy, Patrick Kennedy and Paula Kennedy-Newton. Also survived by 11 great-grandchildren and by her sister-in-law, Evelyn Tremblay.

Above all else, she was a lady...with grace and dignity, wisdom and kindness. She will live in our hearts forever.
