Mom was a masterful seamstress, quilter, knitter and baker, and used her talents and skills to make many donations to the church and other causes. A perfectionist to the core, she made everything from baby clothes to wedding dresses. She was a friend to many and always there with a helping hand to anyone who needed it. She had strong faith and was always there to help with church functions until her later years. She was a special person in many ways. We were so lucky to have her in our lives for so many years. We will miss her very much but celebrate her long life.
Special thanks to the staff of 4 North, Corner Brook Long Term Care for the wonderful care they took of our mother.
