After she married she worked side by side with her husband Adam on the family farm south of Allan and later in the town of Allan. She took joy in the simple pleasures of life, especially family gatherings with the inevitable card games and those precious visits with her grandchildren and great grandchildren. Her hands were never idle, always busy with everything from the heaviest farm work to the most delicate embroidery and fabric painting. She was an excellent seamstress and her favorite projects were her quilts. She was able to make a thing of beauty out of a bag of old clothes. Every member of the family treasures her quilts and she made sure we each had a least one. Mom faced the challenges in her life with courage and with the strength she received from her steadfast faith in the Lord. Her greatest legacy is the example of her good and productive life. Thank you Mom.
