She met and married Len Larsen in 1940 and settled in Ideal, MB. where together they farmed and raised their family. Beatrice always kept busy crocheting, knitting, sewing, canning, baking and gardening. She enjoyed spending time with family and was always willing to help out wherever she could. She was a hard working woman, never complained about anything and always kept a positive attitude. Her family was her life and she held them very close. In 2012, after over 70 years on the family farm, Beatrice moved into the town of Stonewall, with the last one and one half years residing at Rosewood Lodge.
