She was a well liked, outgoing, intelligent, independent lady. She will be sorely missed by her good friends Norma Cowell, Bunny Dowling, Teresa Anglin, Anita and Mick Langley, (Mary Anne Proux, Larry Finn and Sarah Lucier of St. John the Divine Parish), and her former and fellow residents and staff at Inspirit.
