Graduating from the Grace hospital in 1973, Mom dedicated her life to nursing, her family and volunteer work. She loved her career and patients and had the upmost respect for her colleagues. Mom recognized the importance of maintaining the services of the Dr. Charles L. LeGrow Health Centre and also the need for the Southwest Coast residents to obtain essential services. She was instrumental in developing the chemotherapy unit and was very active in the planning stages of acquiring the Dialysis unit. Her passion and dedication of the healthcare of her community was evident in the time she devoted to the Dr. Charles L. LeGrow Health Centre Foundation, CEC, Radiothon, and Relay for Live. We will forever be grateful and proud of the difference she made.
