She will be remembered by many residents and Staff at Elgin Abbey in Chesley. 

Survived by loving nephew Ray (Wanda) Strickland of Hanover as well as many nieces, nephews and their families. Predeceased by her parents, brothers Bruce (Ruth) McRitchie, Oliver McRitchie and Margaret "Fern" (Chesley) Strickland. 

Cremation has taken place with a Private Family inurnment at Crispin Cemetery, Hanover. A Celebration of Life will be held at a time when it is safe to do so. 

Memorial donations to the Diabetes Association or to the Cancer Society were appreciated as expressions of sympathy.
