Mom was born on March 2, 1916 on her parents homestead in the Glenhope district of McCreary, MB. She had many happy memories of her childhood growing up on the farm. Unfortunately, due to the tragic death of her father, she left school to help support the family. In 1935, Mom married our dad and for the next few years Mom helped with farming in the Glencairn, and Glenella areas. In 1946 they moved to Kelwood where they lived until 1960, moving to Amaranth after purchasing the Esso Bulk Oil Sales, and later adding the New Holland Farm Equipment dealership. As a young mother raising her family, Kelwood always held a special spot in her heart. Mom supported Dad in all his work endeavours both physically and mentally. In Amaranth she became active in the community with W.I., the Amaranth Fair, winning many prizes, the Catholic Church, and later the New Horizon Senior Centre. She loved to sew, to garden, and to go berry picking. This was her passion. At the ripe age of 80, Mom passed her drivers license test so as to be able to be more independent to hunt down the berry patches. Our parents loved to travel to visit family in B.C., Alta., Toronto, and Wpg., and the once in a lifetime trips to Mexico, Arizona, Great Britain and Belgium. Mom was always proud of her children, grandchildren and their accomplishments. She always inquired about her great grandchildren. Family was her first priority and she was happiest when we were with her to surround us with her love.
