The family would like to thank all her Home-Care Nurses as well as the staff at the University of Alberta who cared for her in her final hours. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday December 3, 2023 at 1:00 at the Edmonton Crematorium and Funeral Home – 6403 Roper Road NW, Edmonton, AB T6B 3G6. The family also requests that in lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to a charity of your choice such as the Diabetes or Heart and Stroke Foundation. Better still take a friend or relative who maybe lives alone or spends too much time alone for lunch and spend some time with them, that, they will surely appreciate.
