With Mom's loving hands and heart, she created a comfortable home for her five children. In her later years, one of her favourite activities was bingo and it was there where she met the love of her life. She was employed at Knotty Pine, Sportsman Inn, Lundar Motor Hotel and was a selling agent for both Trichem and Avon where she met many people over the years. Mom loved horses and farming and always said the wilder the horse, the better to tame .
