Mabel lived a life defined by kindness, hard work, and unwavering devotion to family. Born and raised on a farm in Ailsa Craig, she carried the values she learned there throughout her remarkable 106 years. Whether tending her garden, preparing meals that brought loved ones together, or offering a helping hand to neighbours, Mabel made everyone feel welcome and cared for. Her warmth, resilience, and generous spirit have touched countless lives, and her simple philosophy—”Just be real kind to each other”—remains a lasting gift to all who knew and loved her.
