It is with great regret to announce the passing of my life partner; amazing wife; incredible mother to Kaeli and Kirsten; mother-in-law to Michael Ceravolo and David Chalmers; and grandmother to Addison, Isabelle and Josephine. She selflessly gave so much of herself to everyone who knew her. Her energy and her spirit was enjoyed by all the people in her world. There is no way to express the loss our family feels. She was one of a kind and I was lucky to have been married to her for 37 years. Kaeli and Kirsten learned how to be kind and sensitive from her. Our three grandchildren experienced a grandmother who was totally committed to being the best she could be – she accomplished that and more. She fought pancreatic cancer for 7 months and never complained – she was graceful to the end.
She lived, she laughed, she loved.
From her loving husband Don.
