Mom was a prayer warrior who put her trust and faith in God. She enjoyed singing in the church choir and the ladies triple trio group. She was involved in Christian Women’s Ministries for many years. Dementia took over her mind in the last years of her life but she was a fighter to the end. The family would like to thank the wonderful and caring staff of MKK who loved and supported mom while she lived there for the past 3 years. Each and every one of you were a blessing to mom.
Cremation has taken place and as per her wishes no funeral. A celebration of life to take place later on. Memorial contributions payable by cheque to the Ontario Finnish Resthome – MKK or the Elim Pentecostal Tabernacle Building Fund would be gratefully appreciated. Arrangements entrusted to the Arthur Funeral Home - Barton & Kiteley Chapel (492 Wellington Street East 705-759-2522).
