Her love of music began at an early age; she was a member of the School of Christ Choir in London, the Orpheus Ladies Choir under the direction of Irene Bird, and studied Voice under Alfred Rose, and Ernesto Vinci. Married on October 7th, 1950, Mona and her husband Fred raised their five children while sharing their love of music and amateur theatre in both Ontario and Quebec.

She was a founding member of The St. Lawrence Choir, Montreal, and in 1979 she received her Bachelor of Music degree in Voice from McGill University. Mona helped others discover the joy of singing over the years as a voice teacher, choir director and choral clinician. She was choir director at St. Michael’s Church in London, Ontario and at St. John Fisher Parish in Pointe Claire, Quebec. Mona and Fred were also performing members of the London seniors’ theatre group “The Nostalgic Thespians” or “TNTs”, for over 25 years. Upon Fred’s retirement in 1980, Mona and Fred returned to Ontario. After a few years living in London they moved to Southampton, where they enjoyed living on the shore of Lake Huron. In 2005 they returned to London and in 2009 moved to the Scarborough Retirement Centre.
