She spent her life working in and around the flower shop and greenhouses. She enjoyed people and talking to them. She was involved with the SSTA, was president of the Bridgewater Historical Society and loved to organize the Heritage Balls that she so enjoyed. Mom loved to travel she talked about her Hawaii and BC Bouchard Gardens trip. Her trip to Florida where she visited many relatives and dear friends, and looked at all the flowers and plants she could. Many a day you would find mom and her dog Walter asleep on the couch together, she loved her dog. Mom enjoyed the last three years of her earthly life at Shoreham Village surrounded by the angels (staff) whom she loved, and they loved her. It was truly heaven on earth for her. If mom was to say one thing to you it would be, hug the ones you love more often. Please join me in remembering my mom at Sweeny’s Funeral Home in a way that feels loving to you, whether it is with flowers, a card or note, a funny story or a hug. Visitation will be held 7 to 9 PM Monday 18 August at Sweeny’s Funeral Home Bridgewater and from where the service will be held 2 PM Tuesday 19 August, Rev Dan Green officiating. We will gather after the service at 269 York Street for some refreshments and lots of conversation. See you there, Tim. Online condolences may be made by visiting www.sweenysfuneralhome.com
