Edith Ward-Fisher (nee Allman)

Edith passed away peacefully at Peterborough Extendicare on Thursday, May 24, 2018. She was in her 100th year.

Mom knew how much she was loved and although we are sad, we do not mourn.  Instead we celebrate having had her with us for so many wonderful years and know she will be joyously reunited with loved ones who have gone before.
