Mom was  known for all of her loving ways from her famous roadside  stand of hosta plants to being  Grandma.
She was often found sitting in the "big" chair with a lap full of children and a pile of story books and always room for one more. 
 Mom loved flowers and scattering seeds and couldn't wait for spring to see the beautiful colours. She sat waiting for customers to stop for some garden sales and loved getting out for a visit.  Many days were spent with the potato fork digging and transplanting.
She had unconditional love for anyone that came into her life and the door was always open, the kettle on and a big pot of chilli brewing so no one ever left hungry. In our hearts and memories we carry her dearly. The love like no other.
Funeral service will be Wednesday December 11, 2024 at St Mary's Church at 10:00 am
