Besides the joy of raising her four children in a beautiful farmyard overlooking the Souris River Valley, Mum enjoyed many hours tending her bountiful gardens. She was the treasurer of the I.O.D.E. for many years and a faithful U.C.W. member. Family was always very special to Mum and we remember great times when she and Dad would have everyone home for one of our family suppers. She loved all of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and we will all miss her very much.
