She liked to drive fast, ignore the limitations that her own body put on her, and defy the expectations of others.

With a heart so full of unconditional love and loved in turn by many, her loss leaves a great void in her family, the communities of Kitchener-Waterloo, Orangeville, Guelph, and indeed all of Southern Ontario.

She will be missed so very deeply by too many to name.

She'd have wanted any friends, family and strangers to donate to the nearest animal rescue or SPCA.

She died picking lilacs.
