Aunt Biz to many nieces and nephews.
Mom was a life long resident of South Windsor. Born on the family farm on Cabana Rd. West. Married in 1953, dad and mom purchased their home on Woodland where she lived until 2014 when she moved to Kensington Court. She embraced her new home and friends, enjoying many of the social activities. In January, mom realized she needed more care and moved to Huron Lodge.
Many thanks to the staff and friends at Kensington Court who over 9 years became her family. To the staff on the Dogwood Wing at Huron Lodge, our family appreciated the love and care you gave to our mom over the last 6 months especially the last few weeks.
If you so desire, donations to the Transition to Betterness or the Windsor Cancer Centre Foundation would be appreciated by the family.
