It’s easy to find great things to say about my mom, but it is so difficult to sit down and write her obituary.

Our amazing mom, grandma, sister, auntie, friend, left us on Saturday, October 24, 2026. She unexpectedly went peacefully in her sleep.

Mom was born on January 7, 1950 in Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan. The fourth and last born to Ernie and Margaret Biggs.

Mom was predeceased by her mom and dad, Ernie and Margaret Biggs, her loving husband, Doug Pack and her son in law, Ray Cherriman.

She will be always remembered and loved by those of us she left behind. Her daughter, Lisa Cherriman and grandson Cody. Daughter, Leah Anton (Mike), grandkids, Jacob, Austin and Mackenzie. Her brother David Biggs and her very special sister in law, Alice. Her sister Bev Huyghebaert (Dennis), her sister Sandi Martini, and so many special nieces, nephews and friends. Mom was a second mom to many of our friends and grandma to many of Cody’s friends.

Mom lived with a warmth, kindness and quiet strength that touched everyone around her and made everyone feel like family. She was always happy, with a smile for everyone she met, no matter what she was going through.  She truly cared about others. She was funny with a weird sense of humour. Mom had the gift of gab and she used it freely. That gift warmed many hearts and made fast friends. There was never a dull, or quiet moment with her around. It was even hard to get a picture of her without her mouth moving and I loved to bug her about that! She worked as a housekeeper at Berwick for a number of years and enjoyed the residents and co-workers. She loved her family. She loved to go for a drive anywhere, or nowhere in particular. As long as we were together she was happy.

I find myself wondering how our hearts will heal after shattering into a million pieces. We will find our way but it won’t be easy. Mom was a special, loving lady and such an integral part of our lives. We will all miss her so much.

Until we meet again mom, miss you, love you.

We will be planning a small family gathering in the spring. Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and hugs. The love and support has been so needed and appreciated.
