She was predeceased by her parents; her brother, Thomas George and her husband, William John (Bill) Cormack. Mom was born on December 3, 1922 to May and Jack George of Kenora, Ontario. She was a courageous woman, who met life's challenges head on. She enjoyed entertaining and her garden. Mom was active in her church. She was a good friend to people of all ages and a good neighbour. To the end she directed her own life. Her greatest joy was the time she spent with her family. Mom was also a member of the Royal Canadian Legion - Fort Rouge Branch.
