Why I turned to The Mission for help: Nancy

Nancy was a beloved long term client in our Diane Morrison Hospice, moving in and out over the years as her chronic health issues improved or flared up.

Hailing from Pond Inlet, Nunavut, Nancy possessed a deep faith and was proud of her culture. She regularly attended our Chapel Service, where she was known to recite the Lord’s Prayer in lnuktitut and shout out an enthusiastic “Hallelujah!”whenever she felt so inspired.

Her spirited nature wasn’t limited to the chapel. She was a lively friend to many staff members and clients, finding joy in singing, dancing, and general celebration.

Her sense of humour was contagious and her generosity to freely share with others was observed daily; whether it be a gift to a friend, a hug, a shared cigarette, or a colourful remark.

As she peacefully approached the end of her life, Nancy was surrounded by friends, family, and loved ones within our hospice.

Nancy will be missed by all of us, but never forgotten.
