This second to none Florence Nightingale had a long and varied nursing career spanning over 40 years in New York City, St. Catharines, and Brampton. Her skillful nursing care and generous spirit was greatly appreciated by her patients and their families.

When her batteries needed recharging she sought refuge in the sunny climes of Antigua where her second family affectionately refers to her as Auntie Kay.

Artistically talented , she sent ceramic angel creations around the globe , fashioned silver trays and performed sewing miracles . She also found time to be a prize winning gardener and prize winning deep sea fisher woman.
