Mom/Nana/G-Nan/Nan was devoted to her family, filling their lives with her hand-knitted sweaters, hand-made greeting cards and Welsh cakes. She was proud to be a Canadian War Bride and was always willing to share stories of her life in England during the war and her early years in Canada as a new bride. She loved to dance and was always available to celebrate special occasions – even if you had to make one up.
Mom/Nana/G-Nan/Nan is and always will have a very special place in all of our hearts and minds. Throughout her long and interesting life, anyone who has had the extreme pleasure of knowing her falls in love with her immediately and unconditionally.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Memorial donations to the charity of one’s choice would be appreciated by the family.
Always In Our Hearts.
