May 8, 2025 at 3:10 pmDear family ,
I am saddened to hear about Nan o passing. I have many fond memories of our time in Ontario together and Newfoundland .. from lunches at pizza nova , Swiss ,to homemade Newfie meals – she made the best cabbage rolls, shopping adventures and picking them up from the train station upon their return to Ontario.
They say people come in to your life for a reason .. Glen and I are glad the Olford family came into ours – Glen met Maxine’s daughter Eneth and he thought she was the most positive person he had ever met. She was very encouraging to him in the short time we knew her. It was also great meeting some of you. Her family was everything to her. Rita and Kelly thank you for taking such good care
Of Nan O.
Poem that goes
In our hearts

Your memory is our keepsake ,
With well never part
God has in his keeping
We have you in our heart
Forever remembered
Your friends Glen and coralee
