Mom was hard working all her life, teaching school while raising us boys. She later worked at Manuel’s Restaurant and John Harris Grocerteria in Canning. She also worked at Zellers in New Minas. Mom was proud to be a member and Past President of the New Minas Lionettes Club. She loved to pick berries and wouldn’t leave a field until all the ripe berries were picked. Mom was a wonderful cook and made the best mincemeat pies, as grandsons Cyrus and Morgan can attest and in her memory, all her boys will continue to use her recipe. She also enjoyed doing jigsaw puzzles. The family wishes to express their sincere appreciation to all who visited mom during her illness, especially to Lindsay and Marilyn Elliott for all their help during this difficult time. Also, a special thanks to honourary pallbearers, nephews, Bruce and Clary Turner, John and David Fulton, Michael Geddes and Stephen Smith.  In keeping with her wishes, cremation has taken place and there will be no visitation or funeral service at this time.
