Above all, she cherished the countless visits she had with family and friends. Granny truly was "Grandma" to everyone in Rathwell. 

She spent the last year and a half of her life happily at the Notre Dame Foyer where she continued to enjoy the company of many visitors. 

Funeral Service will held at the Rathwell Community Hall on Saturday, April 28, 2018 at 1 p.m. followed by a funeral luncheon.  Private family interment will take place prior to the service at the Woodlands Cemtery.
