Mom had the biggest heart of anyone that you would have ever met. She had so much love for everyone. In her 21 years of school bus driving, she made so many lifelong friends. She cherished each and every one of them. Mom could never say ‘no’ to anyone.
Mom loved gardening. On the farm near Iron Springs, she had incredibly beautiful Rock Gardens and Flower Beds. When she and Kenny married in 1977, once again in Picture Butte, she had a picture-perfect home and garden. Moving again, to the Westside of Lethbridge, in 2002, another fantastic home and yard. She took so much pride in herself and everything around her.
Mom received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the C.W.L.
Mom loved camping and frequent road trips with Kenny. She was an excellent cook, and a loving, caring woman. We will truly miss her so very much. We love you, Mom.
