She loved her family passionately and always put everyones needs before her own. She was justly rewarded during her 13 years at West Park Manor by a most loving and caring staff who marvelled at her independence and spunky personality as she wheeled her chair through the halls right to the end.

We especially want to thank Lynn Huggins, her very special friend and caregiver for all her love and companionship.
