Born in Schreiber Ontario in 1933 is where her life began. She met and married our dad August 14, 1952. She was a switchboard operator and Dad was in the RCAF. Together they travelled to Europe, the USA and Canada. After dad retired from the RCAF they lived in Thunder Bay Ontario and Calgary before settling on Vancouver Island. They bought some land to raise their family and build a house. And this strong woman helped build this house along side our dad. She did it all from mixing cement, building walls , painting all awhile raising 7 kids. These are our special memories . They sold their house and moved to the Peace River Region and operated a crop spraying business. They came back to the Island and retired in Comox.
