Mickey was a devoted wife, as well as a very supportive and proud mother. She was a hard worker who could not rest until the last dish was washed, and will be fondly remembered for her ability as a ?baker extraordinaire?. We?ll miss those apple pies!
Mickey was very creative and loved the outdoors, spending many hours camping & fishing on her favorite lakes. She enjoyed curling, was an active golfer and had a love of reading.
At Mom?s request, there will be no formal service. A private family memorial will be held at a later date. Special thanks to Dr. Terry Simpson & Sue, Dr. Avanessian & staff at RIH Cancer Unit, as well as everyone at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home.
