Mom always said she was born at the best of times and that she had a great life. She retired from the City of Kitchener where she worked for over 21 years as the Supervisor of Leisure programs for Breithaupt Centre and was instrumental in the creation of the Breithaupt Senior Center. She enjoyed having happy hour whenever we visited. Mom and Dad were adventurous, enjoyed road trips, spending time on their boat in Owen Sound and trips to Vegas. She enjoyed spending time with her grandkids and cooking with them when they went for sleepovers. Her family was very important to her.

We would like to thank the staff at Columbia Forest for their wonderful care of Mom. They will miss Mom’s feisty nature over the last few months.

A celebration of life will be held on Sunday, January 28, 2024 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the Waterloo Rod and Gun Club, 1075 Bo De Lane, St. Jacobs. Condolences for the family and donations to a charity of your choice can be arranged at  www.erbgood.com .
