Our mom was a hard worker who put herself into everything she did. She worked at Proctor & Gamble for close to 40 years. She started out pulling and packing soap boxes on the line and worked her way up to a position in the offices. She made many life long friends there whom she has to this day. She was a ballroom dancer and greatly enjoyed dancing at the Casa Loma with her husband Gene. She spent countless hours working on stitchery projects. She stitched many beautiful cross stitch quilts and other gifts for those she loved. She cared for and helped many in her lifetime. As a mother she was a great example of hard work, perseverance and strength. We always said, “She was the captain of her own ship!”. She persevered through many difficulties in life with strength and grace. Most importantly she loved us.
