She enjoyed family get-togethers, weekends at the cottage, daily coffee visits with her son and dinners at the Stonehouse, where laughter and stories were always shared. She loved a good party, a great cocktail and had a special way of making every moment feel like a celebration.

Her love, kindness, and joyful presence will be deeply missed and forever cherished.
