She will be lovingly remembered by her husband "Smithy" (Fred) her son Graeme (Rita) daughters, Shirley (Brian) and Debbi (Terry) and her grandchildren, Simon (Lyne), Lisa (Sven), Miles; great-grandchildren, Elizabeth and Emily and her little cat "Pookie". Mum was born in Treherbert, Wales, in 1908. She grew up in the Rhondda Valley. Mum came to Canada in 1946 to join her husband, whom she had met in England during the war. She had the gift of being a talented seamstress, knitter and wrote beautiful poetry. She was a very caring and loving confidante to not only her children but to many a young person who enjoyed long chats at the kitchen table over a "cup of tea". Eiras family would like to thank the 5th floor nursing staff (Wynonna, Lori-Ann, Shannon and Laurie) for their kindness.
