Our mom was full of life and spunk right up until her final days, always embracing adventure and joy. She devoted much of her younger years to raising her family, and later found fulfillment and independence through her work at K-Mart and other retail opportunities. Her grandchildren were her greatest joy and the light of her life. She had a passion for quilting and embroidery, and spent countless hours volunteering at MCC Thrift in New Hamburg. Her faith was central to who she was, and she was a cherished member of both the East Zorra and Cassel Mennonite Churches, where she devoted many hours of service.
Relatives and friends will be received in the Francis Funeral Home, 77 Woodstock St. N. Tavistock on Thursday for 2-4 & 6:30-8:30 pm. Funeral Service will take place at East Zorra Mennonite Church 16, Line on Friday, February 7, 2025 at 11:00 am. Interment will take place prior to the service at 10:30 am in the church cemetery.
