She lived part-time in Nova Scotia for the past 3 years overlooking the beautiful Bay of Fundy. She loved tending to her garden and feeding any stray animal that came by. She was a devoted teacher for 28 years and dearly loved every one of her students. She had a heart of gold and always put others before herself. She will be greatly missed!
