She met her husband, Edgar, at Briercrest Bible Institute where they were both studying. They were married in 1949. After graduation and marriage, they pastored in churches in Birch Hills and Kipling, SK and, later, in Lac La Biche and Medicine Hat, AB. They served on the staff of Briercrest Bible Institute for eight years. Mabel also taught piano lessons for many years. Edgar and Mabel moved to Winnipeg in 1990, where they have had a very fruitful ministry at East Kildonan Baptist Church, especially with the seniors and in the music area. Mabel was a very accomplished pianist and organist, and it was a joy for her to use her gifts for the Lord. She also had a very active prayer life, cared about people and influenced many others around her.
