She is now reunited with her husband (Joe), parents (Ernest and Bridget Tyler) and 8 siblings (Sr. Lydia SOS, Fr. Ernie SJ, Ella, Evelyn, Peter, John, Marion and Billy) who were all waiting for her.

elevated 3iPUQ She was born in Montreal and her compassion for people took her to Toronto to study nursing at St. Michael’s Hospital . She became an RN in 1959.  She soon met her husband Joe and had her three girls.

elevated 3iPUQ From a young age her love of reading made her knowledgeable in many areas. She always said as a child she would read “anything she could get her hands on.”  She continued to love to spend her free time reading and playing euchre. She was also a formidable Jeopardy player and loved a glass or two of good wine.  She believed that joy and love were found in the simplest of things like a perfect flower or the comfort of a hug.  One piece of advice she shared was “Be true to yourself and you will always be happy”.
