After her marriage to Joe she dedicated herself to her family. Her years in Kitchener-Waterloo were full with the raising of her three sons and supporting Joe in his work with the Kitchener-Waterloo YMCA and the community. Lake of Bays was an integral part of her life she shared with her family until well into her nineties. Love, dignity and an amazing sense of humour and wit were with her until the end. Thanks to the staff of Waterloo's Terrace on the Square and London's Horizon Place (formerly Meadowcroft Place) and McGarrell Place who treated her as one of their own family. Thanks to Drs. Whitby and Ferner for their support and excellent care.
