She died after a lengthy struggle with leukemia. For many years she was able to lead a largely normal life recently however she lost ground. She worked right up until April of this year. She worked as a homecare worker for the elderly. She was very good at her work and was loved by her clients. She had known a lot of tragedy in the past years, having lost her beloved husband Don in 1992 followed by her Daughter Debbie and Debbie's husband Rick. She also saw the death of two Gransons. She remained positive right up until the end.
Gregory Turnbull,
Tulita, NT, Canada
