Mom was born in Nelson on July 29, 1919. She and Dad bought the original family home a few years after they were married and she has lived there ever since, 90+ years. Mom will always be remembered as “The Candy Lady”, walking downtown and visiting friends handing out candy. Her evening walks were 4 times around the block and even strangers got a hello, a smile and some candy. Mom had a special place in her heart for everyone
We will greatly miss you Mom and you will remain forever in our hearts.
The family would like to thank the Nelson Home Support for many years assisting Mom in her home, the 3rd floor nursing staff, and all her neighbours and friends.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the MS Society – West Kootenay Chapter or a charity of your choice.
