May’s happiest years were spent on Lawrence Avenue where family and friends gathered regularly to enjoy a BBQ and a day of swimming. The last few years have been spent living at the Elliott where she met many new friends and enjoyed spending time and sharing life stories with them.

The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks Dr. Ruddock and the staff at the Ellington for their kindness, care and compassion in Mom’s final days. A very special thanks to Catrina of Bayshore for going above and beyond. Your understanding and compassion serve as a reminder that exceptional nurses exist.
