She was a primary school teacher, who taught in many BC communities before meeting Roy and settling in Osoyoos 1948. She was also very involved with the United Church as a teacher, superintendent, choir, organist and prayer groups. She had a soft heart for animals, especially cats, which she took in many strays over the years. She had a deep love for writing poetry, Haynes Point (Swiws Provincial Park), Drivers orchard, friends and all the children she taught over the years – she truly loved them all. In 2009 she was named as one of the Influential Women of the South Okanagan.

By touching so many lives with kindness, she had a lasting impact on this community. She is truly loved.
