She and Geiri had a wonderful, loving relationship working side by side on their farm, The Maplewood Fur Farm, where they raised their three children. As well as working on the farm, she was a devoted homemaker. Gudny and Geiri created a loving and warm home where family and friends were always welcome to visit over coffee, treats and cards. She thoroughly enjoyed the visits to the farm from her family. Her favourite pastimes included: gardening, her flowers, knitting, sewing, baking, crafts and playing cards. Through the internet, the computer kept her connected with family and friends around the world, as well, she spent many hours with her favourite computer games. The family would like to say a special thank you to Laurie Arnason for all her assistance in helping Mom. Gudny will be lovingly remembered and greatly missed by friends and family.
