Bernadine and Roy lived in the Domain Area all their married life until a move to Winnipeg in 1980. Mom and Dad farmed and gardened on the banks of the LaSalle River for almost 40 years. Mom was a compassionate, loving woman who spent her life caring for others. She treasured above all else her family each child and grandchild. Mom served her community with enthusiasm. She was active in the Sanford, Domain and Charleswood United Church. Bernadine was very proud to be a charter member of the Domain Womens Institute and for many years served as a 4-H leader.
