Perhaps her greatest love was her involvement in music.  She was a member of the Cathedral Choir for 64 years, including acting as its director for several years.  Music was a big part of her life: she taught piano and voice, and was a music education teacher in the school system for several years; she performed in many musical endeavours in the Corner Brook area, including dance and musical theatre.  She was a dedicated volunteer in her community, in particular her involvement in Canada Day committees, the Western Health Care Corporation, the Canadian Red Cross, the Salvation Army, the Bay of Islands Musical Arts, the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace, the Catholic Women’s League, and recently served as president of the Scottish Heritage Society of Western Newfoundland.  She had an extensive community involvement while building and nurturing a wonderful marriage of over 64 years, raising five children, of whom she was extremely proud, and running a prosperous family business.  In recognition of her contributions, she was admitted to the Order of Newfoundland and Labrador in 2012.  The family will be receiving friends from  Fillatre's Funeral Home, 4 St. Mark's Avenue on Monday  September 8th, at  7-9 PM, and Tuesday September 9th, 2-4 & 7-9 PM.  The Mass of Christian Burial will take place at the Cathedral of The Most Holy Redeemer , Mount Bernard Avenue on Wednesday September 10<sup>th</sup>, at 10:30 a.m. with  Monsignor Edwin Gale Officiating.
