She was an avid curler and was involved in many different organizations, such as Ladies Aid, Ladies Auxiliary, Creative Retirement and was a founding member of the Winnipeg Art Gallery Seniors, where she served as president for two years. She loved all types of handicrafts, was a great seamstress and artist, having done many oil and watercolour paintings.
