They retired to Sidney, BC where, with more time she continued to refine her art of petit-point and needle-point for which she won prizes at several fairs and competitions. Retirement also allowed her to pursue other interests such as gardening and travel. Almost 6 years ago she moved to Lloydminster to be closer to family.
