Mom was very supportive of her children and routinely walked a mile to watch her sons play hockey and she never missed a wrestling match at Korah Collegiate. At the age of 50 she astounded all of us by getting her driver’s license and her first job as cook at Maycourt Daycare. She was passionate in her hobby of knitting and donated hundreds of pairs of mittens to the Salvation Army.
