Mom arrived in Canada as a war bride in 1946 and settled in Fort Rouge for a number of years. Mom worked at the Corps of Commissionaires during this time. In 1958, the family moved to Transcona where Mom made many good friends over the years. At this time she was working as a secretary for a law firm. In 1968, Dad passed away. Mom's strength and courage kept us going. Shortly after that she went to work with the R.C.M.P. Public Service until her retirement. She had many fond memories of the people and her time there. Mom took great pride in her family. She was delighted with the arrival of her grandchildren and then her great-grandchildren. She took great pride in their interests and accomplishments. Mom enjoyed being with people, she loved to chat about good old England and listen to other people's stories. She was compassionate, caring, and concerned about everyone she met. She touched many people's lives and we will all miss her.
