During her later years she endured numerous health challenges, but remained very active and continued to nuture her eclectic musical tastes by attending the many symphonies, concerts and performances offered in southern Alberta.
The family would like to thank the coffee club ladies who provided continual support and gave her countless hours of joy and laughter. We would also like to especially thank Laura, Stenella, and the staff from Greystoke Homes for the loving assistance they provided on a daily basis.
