She was employed as a cook at the Betel Home until her retirement. She loved to cook and bake and she was very well known for her perogies, buns, doughnuts and bread. Guests at her home were always treated to these delicious treats. Mom had a magic touch with plants, especially hanging begonias. Mom was a very private and independent person, not relying on anyone until her health started failing her. In 1998 she became a resident at the Gimli Betel Home.
