After many life experiences and challenges she decided to call Winnipeg her home in 1976. Marie-Jeanne lived and raised her four children in St. James. In 1977 Marie-Jeanne found permanent employment with CFB Winnipeg where she worked at the School of Aerospace Studies. She worked on the base for twenty three years and had great love, admiration, and respect for the job and the people with whom she worked. Marie-Jeanne had many loves and interest. She bowled in a league at the Village inn for many years. She was an avid gardener and she was always ready to act as seamstress for herself and others.
