Shortly after graduating from Emerson High School, Kathy joined her sister Margaret in Morris, Manitoba where she worked as a telephone operator for the Manitoba Telephone System. Kathy, her sister Margaret and others manned the Morris switchboard during the Red River flood of 1950. The operators stayed at the job until high waters forced their evacuation to Winnipeg. The operators all received a Certificate of Merit for “loyal and faithful service under trying conditions during the flood period in 1950”. Kathy graduated from nursing at St. Boniface Hospital and took a nursing position at the Emerson Hospital before joining Trans Canada Airlines as a stewardess. Kathy enjoyed skiing, golf, sewing and needlepoint.
