She was born in Weyburn to Willis and Betty Bennett on June 5, 1941 and married Ray, her husband of 52 years, on September 17, 1961. Mom loved her family and thrived on 小蓝视频 the "family planner", bringing us all together for any occasion. She loved unconditionally; she was patient and understanding; never judgmental and supported us kids in everything we did. Her quick wit and sense of humor always made us laugh, even up to the last hours of her life. Mom had such a huge, thoughtful heart, she was our family rock. She was a dedicated hard worker and created many life-long friendships through her 25 years with K-Mart and Rexall Drugs. She enjoyed an occasional visit to the casino, loved to shop and played cards weekly with her very close friends Doris and Lynne, always letting us know who won the "pot" which was always donated to a charity.
