Family of “Jennie”:
I met your mother at AquaFitness at the Maple Community Centre and we spent many hours exercising and talking in the pool. She was a vibrant, outgoing woman who loved to share the many activities of her family and she was so very proud of her daughters, grandchildren and her special great grandchild. Jennie will be sadly missed by all her friends at AquaFitness. She lived life to the fullest and was an inspiration to all. May she rest in peace.
