Everyone who walked through the door was welcomed with a warm smile, a big hug, and invited to come in and sit down for a cup-a-tea and homemade cookies. She was gentle, quiet, and loved long chats with her family.

Forever loved and remembered by her three sons: Erastus (Sharon), Wilson, and Anthony, and her daughter Alice. Four grandchildren: Charmaine (Chris), Justin (Shauna), Melissa (Tom), and Ryan (Katrine). And her seven great-grandchildren: Elena, Caitlin, Isla, Brody, Ava, Leo, and Sophie.
