Her memory will be forever cherished by her remaining sisters, Lumina Lafreniere, Olga Ashby and Hilda Sydor; stepdaughter Marie Arnal and her family.

She married Fernand in Cadillac, SK in 1939 and they happily enjoyed 36 years together. She loved playing cards, was a wonderful storyteller and was known for her knitting skills.
