Mom married John Keysers December 7, 1950 and resided on the Keysers' family farm in Westbourne Municipality until her passing. It was here they raised their family. Mom was actively involved in the Roman Catholic Church (C.W.L.), Ladies Legion Auxiliary Branch #189, Plumas Curling Club and the Plumas Seniors to which she generously donated food to numerous events in the community. Mom had a strong work ethic, great sense of humour and completely devoted to her husband, family and community. She took great pride in all her involvements and accomplishments. Her many interests and hobbies included gardening, cooking, canning, mini golf, crocheting, sewing, camping, fishing and of course the family tradition of making sausage and cabbage rolls. She looked forward to the many day trips down her adventure trails passing on to her family the importance of nature and wildlife. Mom's door was always open to family and friends with ample amounts of food and drinks for everyone. Mom never did anything in half measures. It was all or nothing. She was not afraid to stand up for what she believed in and to voice her opinion.
