Mom was born in Howick Township and subsequently grew up in Greenbush and Mount Forest. In 1948, she moved to Lucknow as chief telephone operator for the Bell Telephone Company’s Lucknow office. With her move Mom was in need of a radio and as luck would have it, Greer Radio & Electric was next door to the telephone office. We’re pretty sure that was Dad’s most memorable sale! Together, Mom and Dad shared a love of travelling, gardening, and most of all time spent with family. Mom was a member of the Lucknow UCW and was involved for over 50 years with the Girl Guides of Canada, starting out as a brownie leader in the 1960s and then with the Trefoil Guild. Mom looked forward to attending her grandchildren’s activities, including baseball games and singing, hockey, dance, and horse competitions. She also loved her iPad, getting the family videos and photos, especially those of her great-grandchildren. We are forever grateful for the values she instilled in us and for her never-ending support through our ups and downs. Forever in our hearts!
A funeral service will be held from the MacKenzie & McCreath Funeral Home, Lucknow on Monday, November 15, 2021 at 1 PM with visitation one hour prior.
