Mom was, for the most part, a “stay at home” mom from where she strove to “keep us on the right track”. She did, however, enjoy a period of time where she was employed with Sears Canada in the catalogue department, where she developed and enjoyed many long-lasting friendships. Resting at Brenan's Funeral Home, 111 Paradise Row, Saint John (634-7424), with visiting on Friday, November 19, 2010, from 2-4 and 7-9 PM.

For those who wish, remembrances to any charity of the donor's choice would be appreciated by the family. The family would like to express their appreciation to the staff of Chateau de Champlain (Boar’s Head Road, Saint John) and 5CS of the Saint John Regional Hospital for the care and concern extended to our mom during the last six years.
