Mom was a woman of courage who immigrated to Canada at the young age of 20 to marry the man whom she would begin a legacy with. She soon became a member of the Elettra Marconi Society and continued to be a present and proud member. She never hesitated to make new friends. Wherever she went, her beautiful smile and kind heart would pull you in and make you a friend for life. Mom had many dear and devoted friends, too many to mention, but will always be remembered.
