After retirement in 1994, she especially enjoyed winters in Arizona and summers at the family camp on Tannis Lake,

Special thanks to Dr. Bowerman for his long term care and the wonderful people at Birchwood Terrace.

Sammy had many struggles in her final years and we would also like to extend a thank you to the people and the agencies that assisted in her care. Everyone’s caring and kindness with Sammy was much appreciated by her family.

If friends so desire, memorial contributions made to It’s a Dog’s Life or The Cat Shelter would be appreciated by the family.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Knox United Church on Wednesday, November 26, 2014 at 2:00 pm with Cheryl Kinney-Matheson officiating.
