She is survived by her children Bill (Sharon), Rick (Helena), Judi, Douglas, Rod (Gina), Gord (Arlene), Randall (Sandy), Dorothy Edmundson, 17 grand-children, and six great-grand-children.

She worked hard all her life at multiple jobs and was most proud of owning Lucy's Beauty Salon downtown for over 20 years. Then she continued to do hair out of her house for a cup of coffee and a game of cards.
