After living in Wyoming and Arizona, she moved to London, Ontario and later Oakville, Hamilton and eventually Burlington where she resided for the past 25 years. She was a devoted mother and grandmother and will be greatly missed by all.
A private family celebration has already taken place. An official ceremony will be announced at a later date where she will be laid to rest at the Evergreen Cemetery in Menomonie, Wisconsin.
