Mom had a full and busy life beginning on the family farm in Mills Township on Manitoulin Island, moving to Sudbury as a newlywed, raising her children and resettling in 2006 on her beloved Manitoulin for the remainder of her life. Mom would want to be remembered with a smile and a kind memory like one of her favourite statements, don’t worry, be happy! A service will take place at Mills Cemetery in the spring as per Mom’s request, a date will be announced. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to a charity of your choice in Mom’s memory if you wish. There are some things that never, ever leave us. A mother’s love is one of them. Till we meet again, Mom.
