Mom happily spent her early years at home raising her young family in their many homes.  Her and Ken enjoyed their years in Europe travelling to many destinations with their young family in tow.  Later while residing in Truro, NS, she spent approximately 20 years heavily involved with the Head Start Program at the Teacher's College;- her joy was teaching and loving the young children.  She also enjoyed supporting and volunteering for the Fox Harbour Church and surrounding community.  She spent many enjoyable hours watching her favourite curling teams.

Mom and her family were impressed and heartened by the amazing compassionate care and consideration provided by the VON Home Care Support Staff and Nurses of Cumberland County that made it possible for Mom to remain where she wanted to be, in her summer home, during her final journey to a new home.
