Together with her spouse Harold, she lived on the East Prairie Metis Settlement, where they constructed a log home with assistance from family members. She frequently spent time at the High Prairie Sports Palace due to her children's involvement in hockey. In later years, she attended her grandchildren's soccer games.

Mom was a creative person who loved sewing, drawing, painting, ceramics, macrame, and decorating her home. Some of her talents lead her to run both an upholstery and a ceramics business, as well as hold various government jobs.
