always carried herself with grace, warmth, and dignity. Devoted daughter of the

We are eternally grateful for the example that she set by sharing her sage wisdom
with a practicality and joyful exuberance that truly defined her. We will miss her
beyond measure and will continue to respect her legacy.
The family would like to thank Lilly who provided her with friendship and care for
several years, allowing her to stay at home until her decision to move to The
Dunfield where she received exceptional care and attention from the amazing
staff that works there. Special thanks to her incredible palliative team, Dr. Deepa,
Dr. Lilly and nurse Priscilla.
