She was the eldest of three daughters, growing up in St. Anthony N.B. and Springhill N.S. Times spent on her Grandparents farm was one of her favorite stories to tell. She loved to dance and those sure were the dancing days. From the teenage dances to the many years of weekend dancing with Charlie.
She met and married the love of her life Charlie, celebrating 60 incredible years. Having dual citizenship, they moved to Gardner in 1963 to raise their family and then retiring in Lower Five Islands, N.S. Canada. They loved their additional “Community & neighbor Family” there, making it their special home.
Her beautiful voice was heard often at home as she loved to sing and also played piano. Friends would visit and music filled our home. Holidays were especially joyful as she harmonized with her Mom and sisters and of course the dancing.
Her Faith was her guide, so strong and steady. She was always at peace knowing God was beside her in every step of her life.
Family was her whole heart, and that wasn’t just her very own. Many became“family” through out the years. Whether they stayed for dinner or stayed indefinitely. There was always room for more and she had this incredible way of only seeing beauty in others. Her unconditional love was limitless. She became Nana to everyone from then on. Together with Charlie they always offered a safe place for anyone who needed it.  
She loved to cook and fresh bread was a staple, especially warm. Passing along many family favorites for us to continue. Many games were always played from Canasta, Parcheesi, Skip Bo, jigsaw puzzles and she was a whiz at video games as well. She enjoyed these all withevery generation from eldest to youngest.
