She loved the vast beauty of Nature, whether gardening, walking, star gazing or gathering seashells. She found joy within the appreciation of her surroundings, and the very gift of life.

The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude, utmost respect and heartfelt appreciation to all of the Staff at The Commons for their care and compassion over the past three years.
