Later, she moved to Winnipeg to pursue her Register Nurse (R.N.) accreditation at Winnipeg General Hospital, graduating in 1955. She enjoyed working in her profession throughout her life at Winnipeg General Hospital and Middlechurch Home. Mary Lou lived a full life, volunteering at numerous organizations and developed strong friendships through these and more recently in her passion of curling at Rossmere.
