Of all her various jobs, her favourite employment was as a nanny for families in Vancouver and Vernon, including the O’Keefe family.
After a four year courtship, Nell and Michael married in Vancouver in October 1958. They resided in Kamloops and began their own family. She was a devoted mother to her children, a doting Grandmother to her grandchildren and a delighted Great Grandmother to her Great Grandchildren. Having family around made her happy.
Nell was strong willed and always there for everyone. Her legacy of strength for enduring family bond will continue on in all of our hearts. “To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child…to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived – that is to have succeeded.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thank you to the staff of Kamloops Seniors Village for all the care you gave our Mom.
At her request, there will be no funeral service.
“Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.” – 23rd Psalm
