Predeceased by mother, father, sisters, Lillian, Kay, Amy and brother Stephen. Born Frances Elizabeth Armstrong to Mary Lillian Mulock and John William Eldrigge Armstrong September 9, 1912 in Winnipeg. Mom was surrounded by a large and active family. Adventure, and Douglas, drew her East as a young woman, the loveliness of Ontario - Toronto, Oakville and Cedar Springs, Burlington - where she had homes - never ceasing to delight her. An instinct for travel led our parents to cover much of the world, and upon our Dad's retirement at an early age, they settled merrily for the winters in Barbados followed some years later by Hawaii. Much Mom was loved, well she will be remembered. Our family is very grateful for the loving, compassionate care Mom has received in her last years from those who surround her with love at Park Avenue Manor. Cremation has taken place, a family service held on June 17, 2014 and private interment at St. Jude's Anglican Church Memorial Garden. Memorial donations, if desired, to the Salvation Army or charity of choice.
