She could also be found cleaning homes on the side before or after her shifts at the hospital. She enjoyed social events and for many years she volunteered at the Little Current Auxiliary and could be found with Lawrence selling tickets and watching him work the customers. She was a person who valued family above all else. Her home was a haven for many over the years with their open door policy. Carmelita and her husband Lawrence made all who came to their home feel welcomed.When her children and grandchildren would come home, Carmilita’s face would always light up. Nothing moved her more than family. Carmelita was a loving wife to Lawrence for 50 years before he passed away. She was the best mother, mother-in-law and grandmother that anyone could ask for. She was the pillar of the family and will be missed, but never forgotten.
