Mom was born in Winnipeg and spent most of her life here, with the exception of her years of boarding school in Toronto at Branksome Hall and in New York. She was a loving, family-oriented, gracious person who always considered herself to be the luckiest girl in the world. Family was always of the utmost importance to Mom. She was devoted to her family and happiest when we were all together. Volunteerism played an important role in her life. She was a long time member of the Junior League. She canvassed for many charities, and was a founding member of the St. Luke's whale sale. Many happy summers were spent at Whytewold, first at Maclan and then at the Lakeside Lemon cottage where she loved to entertain all of the family. A celebration of her life will take place Tuesday, August 22, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Luke's Anglican Church, Stradbrook and Nassau. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the United Way, St Luke's Anglican Church Building Fund, or a charity of your choice.
