Mom worked hard on the farm tending to the livestock, growing two large gardens, canning preserves for the winter months and looking after us five children. She enjoyed spending time with family and never missed an opportunity to see her 13 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. All of her life Mom enjoyed growing beautiful flower beds and houseplants. She spent many hours each year creating entries for the Teulon Ag Fair and was awarded countless ribbons. It was common to see at least one of her entries proudly displayed in the "Court-of-Honour". Mom knitted beautiful blankets for all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
