As a young schoolteacher Nelda taught in several country schools in Southern Saskatchewan until her marriage in 1930. Later she taught at Norberry School from 1946 to 1960. In 1960, she and Harvey moved to West Hawk Lake as proprietors of a small tourist camp, Kenwin Cabins. In 1966 they retired and moved to Falcon Lake where Nelda resided until 1995. She then resided at Riverside Lions Manor and more recently at Golden Links Lodge.
