And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count; it’s the life in your years.

The saddest thing we must do in life is to say good-bye to our loved ones and so it is with tremendous sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great grandmother and friend who passed away on August 9th, 2018 at Western Memorial hospital in her 90th year after a brave struggle with cancer.

She leaves to mourn her six children: Clara Gillingham – Ralph; Loretta Bennett – Gerard; Rick Samms – Wendy; Judy Butt – Rod and Diane Hennessey – Kevin all of Corner Brook; Reg Samms – Shirley of Brooks, AB and Sheri Lynn Howell – Peter of St. John’s, NL; 28 grandchildren, 34 great-grandchildren and 5 great great-grandchildren; all of whom she loved so very deeply.
