She especially enjoyed watching and calling to the loons. She was a loving devoted wife, mother and Memere who will be dearly missed. She will be fondly remembered for her signature smile, kind heart and gentle caring nature. She made every holiday special; from her hand-crafted Easter eggs and holiday cupcakes to her lobster stew and sugar cookies at Christmas to her hand-crafted Christmas tree ornaments for the grandchildren, to be treasured for years to come.
