Mom was an inspiration to us all in how she lived her life. We will always remember her for her unwavering strength, quick wit that kept us laughing, her determination, perseverance, steadfast devotion to family, love of music and dancing, her kindness and generosity towards so many and her deep love of witless bay.

Mom will be missed by her work friends at the local fish plant and by anyone who was lucky enough to know her. She dearly loved on her rock at pond the look out on May 24 weekend, showing dad how to catch trout.

“Mom, we loved you your whole life and will miss you the rest of ours.”
