Daphne, affectionately known as “Ms. Daph, Aunt Daph, Grandma GG, Cousin Daph and Mommy D”, had a heart of gold and she will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
She leaves to cherish her memories: her son, Trevor (Rona) Salkey; 2 grandchildren; 4 great grandchildren; and a host of other relatives and many friends.
