Mom was a loving and caring woman who devoted her life to her family, especially her two grandchildren. Christmases and Birthdays were always held at mum's house. She was a great cook and a master of birthday cakes. Everyone always got a special home-made cake. Mom, we will always cherish the special memories you have created for us. Mom was born in Bathurst, New Brunswick, where she loved travelling back to as often as she could to visit family and friends. Mom always said that she knew when she was home when she could smell the salt air. She is now reunited with her loving husband Gary.

As per her wishes, there will be no formal funeral services.
