She worked with dedication and compassion throughout her career first at Saint Mary's and later at Inverness Consolidated Memorial Hospital. Her leadership and knowledge were invaluable to all who knew her.

While she had no children of her own, she made sure her younger cousins were well loved.
She was an avid reader of all the provincial newspaper and magazines, keeping up with events both locally and abroad.
