Mom was an avid sportswoman excelling in baseball and tennis in her youth. She went on to enjoy years of playing badminton and curling at the Winnipeg Winter Club. In the early 80s Mom and Dad joined the St. Charles Country Club where Mom enthusiastically took up golf, which provided her with many friendships. Until she became unable to fully participate, she was an active member of the St. Aidan's Church, serving on the Altar Guild, attending Bible Study, and Quilting. Mom had been struggling for the last few years, and began to decline quite rapidly in the last few weeks. We would like to thank ALL of the wonderful and dedicated staff on the 3rd floor for their concern, tender loving care, and assistance. The family is having a private service.
