Mom lived a blessed and full life. She was a hard worker, wonderful cook and an owner of a popular catering business, Mary’s Catering. A woman who wasn’t afraid to go back to school to earn her Grade XII and then take courses to earn her Home Care certificate. She enjoyed volunteering to numerous organizations and was recognized by The Royal Canadian Legion, Br. 141 with a Meritorious Award.
