As well as being a fiddler, she was known as an active volunteer and fundraiser. Dave Gunning and John Spyder MacDonald performed with Fleur many times. She even was a radio host and a farmer market manager. She had a beautiful touch on the fiddle and was a great singer as well. Fleur was one of those that stood out from the rest and was a humble and a very giving person.
Fleur also taught music to children and gave young dancers a stage to perform on. She had been a member of the popular Celtic band MacKeel when she was a teenager. After a few years, she went solo and released a number of fiddle CD's and even began to sing later on as a solist with her CD entitled, My Rare One.
Her lasting legacy will be serving as an inspiration and mentor to generations of fiddlers.
