Rhoda was born in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia and grew up in Flatrock, Newfoundland. She met the love of her life Bill in Corner Brook Newfoundland where she was working as a nurse. Rhoda also worked in St. John’s, Newfoundland and she continued to work in the medical field all of her life caring for the sick and the elderly until she retired. She was a very caring person and loved to take care of others.

Rhoda also loved to have company over and on many occasions a small crowd, she was always welcoming and a great cook, she loved cooking up a feast for everyone to enjoy! You always felt welcomed in Rhoda’s home.

Rhoda also loved to play a good hand of Euchre in her earlier years and would often reminisce about the good old days. She enjoyed telling her stories of growing up in Newfoundland and how she later moved to Toronto where she lived with her husband and four sons. She lived in Toronto for over 75 years and enjoyed taking care of her family and working as a nurse.

Throughout her 98 years she enjoyed many good times with her family and friends, she always had a way of making us laugh and these are the memories that will never be forgotten.
