She enjoyed volunteering for school and community events and was awarded the Order of Serving Sister with St. John Ambulance. Nanny was passionate about garage sales and always treasured her finds and carefully stored them "to the right of the dryer!" This amazing lady was completely dedicated to loving her children, caring for sick kids, helping stray animals, and having a cup of tea with anyone. Mom proudly raised her family on porridge not privilege. A special thank you to Jodie for her respectful, compassionate, palliative care.
