Mom preferred a quiet stay at home life on the farm while raising 12 children. She looked forward to calls and visits from family. She enjoyed playing cards, quilting, doing puzzles, and working on her many "Search a Word" books, while watching her favorite tv programs or listening to country classics music. She also enjoyed entertaining family with singing and playing songs on the piano from ear. Although she did not have the means to attend high school, she went to night school to obtain her G.E.D. Diploma while raising a family, which was something she longed to accomplish. She was a member of the CWL for many years and enjoyed getting caught up with the ladies while carving up turkeys during the annual picnic and harvest suppers.

A heartfelt ‘thank you’ from the family to the staff at both the River View Manor, Bath, NB and Upper River Valley Hospital for providing exceptional care to mom.
