Una lived a very active and independent life right up until two weeks prior to her death. For the past four years she spent winters at her apartment in Summerford but as soon as the snow melted, quickly moved back to the place she loved the most, the house on French Point. She loved to cook, knit and play cards with her family and friends and still held a driver's licence. She will be dearly missed but will live on in the memories of her family and friends.

“Life is not the wick or the candle---it is the burning. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain”.
