In 1959 she immigrated to Winnipeg with her husband and two children. She worked at Tache Geriatric Hospital and at the Donwood Manor Personal Care Home as a nurse's aid. After retiring, Mom loved the outdoors and spent many hours tending her garden, during the summer months. She often spoke of the pleasure she derived from her flowers and plants. Mom was known for her creative craft-work and enjoyed knitting and crocheting. Each year, at Christmas craft sales, many people bought the doll clothes and scarves, toques, slippers and socks Mom had made.
