Fern dedicated the next 40 years to Public Health nursing, becoming supervisor of Winnipeg West and Winnipeg North and then became the Director of Nursing, City of Winnipeg Health Department, a position she was very proud to hold. She retired in 1983 and moved to Kamloops, where she spent 20 wonderful years! Everyone who had the pleasure of meeting Fern were touched by her personality, spirit and wonderful sense of humour and when she laughed, which was often, her blue eyes would sparkle.
