Daisy Pickering passed away. The obituary was featured in The Gazette on October 31, 2009.
The precious memories we have of Nanny are all the summers we've spent together with friends & family at Lac Adair. Nanny was often the first one up and she gave my youngest daughter her first taste for porridge & tea. Not only did my daughters called her Nanny so did every other child on 45th Avenue.
We will miss you always and I am honored to have known such a remarkable woman!
