In Winnipeg she was a board member of the YMCA, volunteer at the Art Gallery, the Assiniboine Park Pavilion, Meals on Wheels and worked with others to save the Tuxedo golf course. She also spent many years, in the early formation of Beyond Borders, with Roz Prober. Dance aerobics and, in the latter years, crosswords were her passion. A supporter of overseas foster children movements, in the past there is one Cleata, now living in Boston, who was very close to her. Regardless of adversities, she was always cheerful and above all funny. Deeply loved by her husband and family, Susan, Craig and Tim, also seven grandchildren, she was the great spirit in our lives.
