Ida Maude Green

Mom worked at Sears in Returns for twenty years where she made many wonderful friends. She was a founding member of Saint Margaret of Scotland Church and a faithful member for many years. She was also a past member of the Eastern Star Lodge, Emerald Chapter. She loved to knit and kept her grandchildren supplied with sweaters, hats and mittens. She also liked to knit lap afghans, which she would donate to seniors at Northwood.

We would like to thank Mom’s caregivers, the Newfoundland Ladies, as well as Marie Hines from PEI, for looking after Mom in her home over the last two years. A special thank you to Viola Westcott, who provided exceptional, compassionate care for Mom during her last days. We are forever grateful.
