Born on June 7, 1920, Mum witnessed dramatic changes
in the world and learned from it all. She had limited access
to formal education but instilled its value in her family and was
proud of our accomplishments. She enjoyed her career in administration
at the Charlottetown Hospital. She was an exceptional cook,
a gracious host and knew how to stretch a dollar farther than a pair
of pantyhose!
