Mom thoroughly enjoyed her work at Volunteer Centres in Toronto and Peterborough, and was a passionate volunteer for the Canadian Cancer Society for many years. Mom had many wonderful life-long friends whom she cherished.

Her family is grateful for the care and friendship she experienced at Amica Westboro over the last 4 years.  We express our sincere gratitude to the doctors and staff of the Palliative Care Team at Èlisabeth Bruyѐre for their wonderful and compassionate care.  Donations in Mom’s memory to the Èlisabeth Bruyѐre organization, the Canadian Cancer Society, or the charity of your choice would be appreciated by the family.  Condolences, tributes and donations may be made at www.tubmanfuneralhomes.com
