She will also be missed by her in-laws. Mom loved the outdoors especially during the warmer seasons. When she wasn't enjoying the company of her children and grandchildren, she enjoyed many activities. The beaches, berry picking and garage sales to name a few. While shopping she always ran into her many friends and family who always made her laugh. She always had a smile and short funny stories to tell her many customers who enjoyed her awesome smoked Goldeye. She shared her home in Traverse Bay with her husband Reney of 27 years and great-grandson Christopher whom she was raising. She helped build her home in the fall of 1988. The family sends special thanks to the Victoria Beach and Pine Falls E.M.S. and to the staff at E5 Unit of St. Boniface Hospital.
