Nettie retired from Western Grocers after working for 25 years. Nettie led an active and full life in spite of her health problems. Travelling was her passion and she kept elaborate records of her travels. Besides travelling, she spent her time doing volunteer work, photography, crocheting, paper tolling, calligraphy and gourmet cooking. She was an avid watcher of football and hockey games. Somehow Nettie still found time for family and friends and kept in very close contact. She loved her nieces and nephews very dearly. Nettie will always be remembered for her special smile and the unconditional love and support she gave to all of us. The family extends their deepest gratitude to Dr. D. Johnson and staff at Concordia Hospital for their compassion and kindness to Nettie.
