Mom actively served her church and community as a member of the Catholic Women's League, receiving her 50 year pin. She was also a member of the Canadian Daughters League #34 and held office as President, Provincial President and than National President, earning her 50 year diamond pin for dedication and service.

Mom filled her life with travel, volunteering, community service, hobbies, friends and closest to her heart, her family. She loved her outings with her BFF's Verna and Rita at Club Cappacino and long rides in the country.
