After the war, Mom immigrated to Canada with her toddler son, James, to join her husband. As a family, they established themselves in Winnipeg and developed strong roots. Mom will always be fondly remembered as a compassionate and loving soul and a true care giver to her family. Her family was always her priority and her home a comfort for all who entered it. Mom, our love for you is eternal and we find tranquility in knowing you are at home with our Heavenly Father. We will be together once again. The family wishes to express their utmost gratitude to the most wonderful staff of Apple Tree Lane, Misericordia Place.
