She is survived by her children Peter (Norine), Michael (Georgeann), Rosalie (Josh), and John (Lesley). She absolutely adored her seven grandchildren Dominic, Dylan, Josh, Grace, Wyatt, Georgia and Trevor.

In her spare time, she enjoyed reading, watching classic movies on the Hallmark Channel/Turner Classic Movies, playing solitaire and going to the casino. She loved hosting parties and holidays for her extended family and friends. She loved laughing and making people laugh. It was truly infectious. She is infamous for getting her holiday cards out well in advance of everyone else.
