Beatrice then moved to Saskatoon, Saskatchewan where she started a new chapter in her life. She met Lawrence. He was a guitar player and singer. That's when Teresa, Deidre and Larry were born. They lived a humble life together enjoying singing, dancing, reading the Bible together and deep conversations. She did a few different jobs but was mainly a stay at home mom.

Later on with her children being older she started a career as a Cook in the Oil Patch. She made a lot of hungry people happy. Beatrice stayed close to her children and grandchildren as much as she could. Beatrice played the organ whenever she could and would sing her favorite Hymns to the Lord Jesus.
