She was a dedicated supportive mother, proud and loving grandmother, great grandmother, the youngest of the closely-knit “Fab 4 McKinnon sisters”, a bright light too many of the elderly in her community, especially Joe Curtis, whom she adored. She was there for her friends when and where she was needed, which was frequently. We will not forget her sense of humour, sassiness, hospitality, competitiveness (especially at cards and dice), independence (stubbornness) and her enormous perseverance in the face of many adversities. She loved figure skating and was obsessed with curling. Your “hurry hard” days are over now raise a glass to the team left behind.
