She took great enjoyment and pleasure caring for her children and grandchildren. Mom would always welcome with open arms and caring heart any and all children who came upon her doorstep. Mom's greatest joy were her grandchildren. While caring for her family mom still found time to plant and harvest a 1/4 acre garden year in and year out that she thoroughly enjoyed tending to. We her children, not so much (LOL). As well as gardening, Kazimeria enjoyed mushroom and berry picking. Kazimeria, being a devout Catholic, took every opportunity to attend mass, whether it be Sunday morning or a weekday evening. Kazimeria moved to the Yorkton & District Nursing Home on May 23, 2013. In those three years mom was blessed with a caring and compassionate staff which soon became a second family for her. She truly cared for her nursing home friends as they truly cared for her.
