Her wisdom and legacy will be passed for generations to come through her great grandchildren Foster and Scotlyn Neilson and Neve McGuffin.

Growing up on a farm in Honeywood, ON with her beloved dog Sport, she was a self described ‘tomboy’, and would reminisce about the times she would ski to school.

In retirement her competitive side excelled with a game of bridge, she became an avid knitter and baker, she had a love for the roses in her garden, but most of all she enjoyed her time with her family. Her socks and treats were gifted to all those she loved.

The family wishes to extend their thanks and gratitude to the doctors and nurses of Victoria Hospital.
