July 25, 1951 – August 18, 2011
Generous in deeds for others
Gentle and kind
Wonderful positive personality
Selfless spirit…always putting others first
Loved animals…especially her pets Snowball and Little Bear
A caregiver, a very nurturing RPN
Enduring marriage partner
“The face of an angel
Always radiating sunshine and happiness towards all she met.”
