Mom was born in Winnipeg on February 3, 1916 and resided most of her life in St. Vital and Windsor Park. She had worked at Robinson Little and Eatons, where she had made many friends. Mom was a very sociable person with a very easy-going manner and great sense of humour. She could laugh at herself in spite of her recent medical problems. Mom loved her home, family and shopping. She could always find a good bargain. She enjoyed several trips to visit family members and occasional summers at the lake. She was a good hostess and always made you feel welcome in her home. Mom was a very caring person and was always there when you needed her.
