Born on April 15, 1943 in Maitland, she was a daughter of the late Malcolm and Gertrude Dauphinee.

She and Eugene operated the Denmark Restaurant in West Northfield for 16 years until retirement, making lots of great friendships along the way. She loved a good game of crib at the camp, as well as seeing everyone come there for the annual thanksgiving gathering. She was one of the most kindhearted people around and always loved a good laugh.

Thanks to the nurses on the 4th floor for your compassion and caring for mom in her final hours.
