      Passed away peacefully on Wednesday, February 16, 2022, at Nithview Community in New Hamburg at the age of 101.

      Beloved wife of the late Abner (2012) for 68 years. Predeceased by daughter Margaret Alexander (1988).

Survived by son-in-law Carl Alexander. Also predeceased by her son-in-law Floyd Walker (2011).

      In her early years she enjoyed her garden and flower beds. She was an excellent cook and baker and everyone enjoyed the fresh coffee cake she made. She enjoyed her retirement years traveling, boating and fishing with Abner.
