Talented artist in oils. Backyard gardener. Singer of all the old show tunes. Wonderful baker of pastry items and desserts, thanks to Danish Aunts Mary Dawkins and Lillian Belcher. Always ready to smile and speak a cheerful word. As was the case with her Father Ken Roberts, veteran from World War One and Vimy Ridge. Thankful for her days over a span of 96 years.
