Beloved Mom to Virginia Slack (Tim-deceased), Shirley Whitford (Dan), Vicki Train (Pat Legere), the late Robert Armstrong (Beth), Debbie Feeney (Ed), the late Mary Armstrong, and Steve Herkimer (Kate). Mom is predeceased by her parents Robert and Frances Warring, brother William Warring, sister Gloria Olsen (Harry-deceased) and survived by her much loved brother and sister-in-law Doug and Sharon Warring. Mom was Grandma-Grams-Gammy to 15 grandchildren and 19 Great-grandchildren for whom she spent countless hours at hockey arenas, ball diamonds and soccer fields to silently cheer for them in victory and defeat. Mom will be deeply missed by her nieces and nephews and also her in-laws that she always considered an important part of her life.
The family would like to express their deep gratitude and thanks to the amazing staff at Cedarwood, their kindness, patience and understanding through some very difficult days will never be forgotten.
