She attended school in Jedbourgh at the Rocky Dale School until grade 8. She left the farm at 17 years of age and moved to Yorkton, SK, where she worked as a waitress.

Later, she attended night classes and became a hairdresser. She moved back to Yorkton to run a hairdressing shop for four years. In 1936, she moved back to Winnipeg where she met and married Harvey Moreau the following year. They lived in Winnipeg until 1947 when they purchased a small hotel in Fenwood, SK. Together they operated the hotel for four years and then moved back to Winnipeg, where they remained for the rest of their lives. On June 2, 1998, her beloved husband, Harvey passed away.
